Report: IAF destroys Syrian weapons shipment to Hezbullah

If this is true, it's big. The Kuwaiti newspaper aj-Jarida is reporting that the IAF destroyed a weapons shipment from Syria to the Hezbullah terror organization on Tuesday.

The paper’s story, which quotes a senior Israeli official, has not been confirmed by any other news source. There was also no word on whether the attack took place on Lebanese or Syrian soil. 

...

The Kuwaiti daily also reported last Friday that Israel has information on the location of long-range missiles transferred from Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon and is considering taking military action to destroy the weapons.

The paper, quoting an Israeli security source close to Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, reported that the remote-operated missiles, with a range of 1,500 kilometers, were made in China and further developed in Iran.

According to the source, the missiles are being stored by Hezbollah in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon.

The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the veracity of the report.

And why would an 'Israeli official' speak only to a Kuwaiti daily? Just askin'.....
