Kuwait's Al-Jarida newspaper reported Wednesday that Israeli
warplanes attacked a convoy carrying missiles along Lebanon's border with Syria
two days earlier.
Quoting Israeli sources, the newspaper said that the
missiles were intended for delivery to Hezbollah, to bolster their cache of
advanced weapons. The report did not specify whether the alleged attack was
carried out on Lebanese or Syrian territory.
The newspaper sources an Israeli security official,
described as an associate of Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, as saying that
Israel has information regarding the transfer of advanced and precise
long-range missiles from Syria to Hezbollah.
The source is quoted as saying that missiles were being
stored in Lebanon's Beka'a Valley and that Israel was weighing the possibility
of destroying the remaining cache as well.
Neither Hezbollah nor its media outlets have related to the
reports. Lebanese media has reported on a string of air strikes in the area
over the last few days, but attributed them to Syrian attacks on armed rebels
fighting the regime.
The report could not be confirmed by any other source.
