Dubai: Syria has
deployed missile defence batteries towards Israel in response to
an alleged Israeli attack that targeted a Syrian army facility in
the capital Damascus Sunday, a media report said.
The pan-Arab al-Mayadeen TV cited security sources as saying that
Syria will also provide the Lebanese Hezbollah with "new
qualitative weaponry".
A statement issued after an emergency cabinet meeting Sunday said
that Israel's attack "opens the door widely before all
eventualities", Xinhua reported.
"Syria will not accept its sovereignty to be infringed upon either
at home or abroad," the statement said.
It warned that those who mess with the sovereignty of Syria must
carefully study their options and shoulder the responsibility.
Sunday's air attack was the second Israeli one targeting the same
military scientific research centre in the area of Jamraya,
northwest of Damascus after one in January.
Israel said then that it was targeting a weapons convoy on its way
to Lebanese Hezbollah militant group, a main ally to Syria.
After Sunday's attack, Western reports cited intelligence sources
as saying that the attack targeted a shipment of advanced
Iranian-made weapons, including Fateh-110 missiles, heading to
Hezbollah.
The Israeli administration previously warned that it will not
allow the Syrian government to give sophisticated weapons to
Hezbollah.
However, Syria's state media charged that Israel targeted Damascus
to give a boost to rebels.
Syria's foreign ministry, meanwhile, said the air strike was an
indication to the coordination between Israel and the radical
groups affiliated with the Al Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.
