Report abusive post | Syrian tanks advance to Lebanese Beqaa Valley border. Israel forces on high alert
| Quote |
Syria moved tank units up to the Lebanese Beqaa Valley border Tuesday, Oct. 7. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that this is Damascus’ second troop movement on the Lebanese border. For three weeks, commando units have been poised on the North Lebanese border. In the first deployment, Syrian tanks and armored vehicles were kept some 3-10 km to the rear of frontline commando forces. In the second, which is much closer to the Israeli border, armor and tanks have been deployed at the front.
These military movements sent Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak on an unannounced visit Tuesday to check the state of readiness of the IDF’s dispositions on the Syrian and Lebanese border barriers. He cautioned the outpost commanders to exercise maximum vigilance in the coming days. The border seems quiet, he said, but officers must to take care never to permit a repeat of the Yom Kippur exactly 35 years ago when Israel was caught napping by the Syrian invasion.
Our sources report that Washington, Jerusalem and Beirut are bracing for the possibility that Damascus will seize the moment of the total shutdown in Israel for 25 hours from Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 8, to Thursday night, Oct. 9, for Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and launch its military forces against northern Lebanon or the Golan.

Debka or not, if the report of Ehud Barak's visit to the front is true, this does have a degree of seriousness. What does HaEretz say?

U.S. warns Syria against sending ground troops into Lebanon
By Reuters
Tags: Syria, Lebanon, Israel News
WASHINGTON, Oct 6 (Reuters) - The United States voiced concern over Syria's military build-up at its northern border and said the recent massive bomb attack in Damascus must not be used as a pretext to get its forces back into Lebanon.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem late last month on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and pressed him on the Lebanon border build-up and other issues.

Syria deploys new troops along Lebanese borders
www.chinaview.cn 2008-10-07 18:50:03 Print
BEIRUT, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- New Syrian troops buildup was reported Tuesday near Lebanon's northern borders, with tanks deployed along the frontiers of the northern Bekaa valley, the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat reported Tuesday.
Witnesses were quoted as saying that Syria deployed vanguards along the borders on Monday noon, and trenches were set up with tents for the soldiers.
Syrian forces were setting up checkpoints along the area of deployment, and the entire crossing that links the Syrian city of Homs with the Bekaa valley had been placed under Syrian control, the report said.
Security sources said that no Syrian penetration into Lebanese territories took place since the first troops buildup of about 10,000 soldiers along the northern borders on Sept. 21.
Earlier last week, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told Lebanese President Michel Suleiman over telephone that the troops buildup is one of Syria's measures to counter smuggling.
He also confirmed that the decision was taken in "harmony" with UN resolution 1701, which ended the 34-day war between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah in 2006.
However, Syrian troops buildup raised a number of international warnings against any attempt to intervene in Lebanon again.
The Syrian army pulled out of Lebanon in 2005 after 29 years of military presence. |

Syria intensifies troop deployment along Lebanon border
Posted: 07-10-2008 , 13:01 GMT
Syria on Tuesday has reportedly expanded its troop buildup near Lebanon's northern border, deploying tanks on its frontier with the northern Bekaa Valley. The pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat, citing high-ranking security sources, said Syria has also deployed tanks along the border facing the northern Bekaa town of al-Qaa.
Al Hayat quoted witnesses coming from northern Bekaa as saying Syria deployed vanguards along the border at noon Monday. They said the deployment coincided with the digging of trenches and setting up tents for its soldiers.
The witnesses said they saw Syrian forces setting up checkpoints along the area of deployment. They quoted people crossing on foot from Syrian territory into northern Bekaa as saying that the entire crossings that link Homs with the Bekaa Valley had been placed under Syrian control. |

Syrian Troop Buildup Now Expanded to Cover Northern Bekaa
Syria on Tuesday has reportedly expanded its troop buildup near Lebanon's northern border, deploying tanks on its frontier with the northern Bekaa Valley.

They said Syrian troops have put up earth mounds to prevent smuggling and to counter terrorism.
The security sources, however, confirmed no Syrian military penetration into Lebanese territory has taken place since the first troop buildup along Lebanon's northern border was reported Sept. 21.

Israel Threatens to Decimate Lebanon
By CHERRIE HEYWOOD (Middle East Times)Published: October 07, 2008
Israeli military commanders are threatening to attack Lebanon with such disproportionate firepower that “such a response is likely to be remembered by decision makers in Syria and Lebanon for many years,” one said.
JERUSALEM -- Three senior Israeli military commanders have threatened to decimate Lebanon's infrastructure with disproportionate firepower, wipe out villages in the south from where they believe attacks on Israel originate and to treat both the Lebanese government and the entire country as the enemy not just Hezbollah, in the next war.
In an interview Friday with the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot, GOC Northern Command Gadi Eisenkot presented his "Dahiyeh Doctrine." This doctrine would allow the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to expand its destructive power beyond what it demonstrated two years ago against the Beirut suburb or, dahiyeh in Arabic, a Hezbollah stronghold, during the Second Lebanon War.
"We will wield disproportionate power against every village from which shots are fired on Israel, and cause immense damage and destruction. From our perspective, these are military bases," he said. "This isn't a suggestion. This is a plan that has already been authorized," he added. |

Syria Massing Troops Along Border with Lebanon
By Edward Yeranian
Beirut
07 October 2008
[link to www.voanews.com]
Eyewitness reports say that Syria is continuing to mass troops along its border with Lebanon, prompting the warning from the United States not to meddle or to intervene militarily. For VOA, Edward Yeranian reports from Beirut.
Fresh reports of a Syrian troop buildup along Lebanon's eastern Beka'a Valley are ringing alarm bells in Beirut and Washington.
Quoting Lebanese security sources, the Arab daily al-Hayat, reports the Syrian army has deployed tanks to the Beka'a Valley border town of al-Qa'a. Eyewitnesses also report that the Syrian Army has dug trenches and erected earthen barriers.
Two weeks ago, Lebanon's LBC TV broadcast images of Syrian troops camped along Lebanon's northern border, sparking initial fears of an invasion.
The latest Syrian troop buildup follows a series of defense protocols signed Monday by U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Mary Beth Long and Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr.
The three agreements include a one-time U.S. gift of $63 million in military equipment to the Lebanese army. The Israeli Web site Debka File claims the gift includes a number of Cobra helicopters now stationed in Jordan.
U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State David Hale told a Lebanese radio station the United States has "no intention of changing its policy towards either Lebanon or Syria," and it is "committed to Lebanese sovereignty."
Monday, State Department Spokesman Robert Wood said the United States told Syria any "intervention" in Lebanon is "unacceptable."
Syrian officials have repeatedly insisted the troop build-up along the border is merely intended to "combat smuggling."
The head of the Political Science Department at the American University of Beirut, Professor Hilal Kashan, thinks Syria is preparing the ground for an eventual Lebanon incursion by using the Fatah al-Islam guerrilla group, which Syria created, as a pretext.
"If terrorist attacks against the Lebanese Army in the north continue to go ahead, and it is my understanding that Fatah al-Islam is engaged in these activities against the army, and we all know that Fatah al Islam is a [Syrian] intelligence creation, and reports from Syria say that the Syrians have arrested their leader, Chaker al Abssi, and that they aborted, last month, a terrorist attack against a packed stadium in Damascus. So, all that is designed to show that there is a wedge between Fatah al Islam and Syria," said Kashan.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said last week that Islamic militants inside Lebanon "pose a threat to Syrian stability."
Lebanon's parliamentary majority leader Sa'ad Hariri responded to Mr. Assad, asserting that "Syria represents a threat to Lebanese stability." |

Just remember the Olympics and Fridays thru weekend if something unpopular or polarizing it usually happens when people are focused on world events (i.e. economy debate) Its a smoother transition. Look for conflicts brewing to start within ten days while our attention is focused elsewhere.
