Power Line reported today on Israel's seizure of weapons on a ship bound from Iran to Syria. The Israelis had been monitoring the ship for several days when Israeli Seals boarded the ship in the middle of the night and uncovered certificates within containers that documented Iran as the point of origin for some containers, with Syria as the intended destination.
According to the article:
"The weapons seized on the ship included some 3,000 rockets of various types, as well as 60-millimeter mortars, 7.62-rifle Kalashnikov-ammunition, F-1 grenades and 122-millimeter Katyusha rockets. The ship's cache was reportedly ten times the size that of the Karine A's that Israel seized in 2002."
There is little doubt that the intention was to eventually use these weapons against Israel. It seems to me that when Iran threatens to wipe Israel off the map, we should take that threat seriously. In the 1930's no one was ready to believe there would ever be concentration camps run by the Germans, so no one took action. Are we in the same place with Iran now?
