Israel Says It?ll Attack Russian Missile Deliveries To Syria

If Russia helps out Syria with missiles as it has stated, Israel will retaliate.

The warning by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon ratcheted up tensions with Moscow over the planned sale of S-300 air-defense missiles to Syria. Earlier in the day, a top Russian official said his government remained committed to the deal.

Israel has been lobbying Moscow to halt the sale, fearing the missiles would upset the balance of power in the region and could slip into the hands of hostile groups, including the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, a close ally of the Syrian regime?

?Clearly this move is a threat to us,? Yaalon told reporters Tuesday when asked about the planned Russian sale.

?At this stage I can?t say there is an escalation. The shipments have not been sent on their way yet. And I hope that they will not be sent,? he said. But ?if God forbid they do reach Syria, we will know what to do.?
