The American Wall Street Journal newspaper reported that Hezbollah succeeded to smuggle long-range rockets from Syria to Lebanon.  A US official estimated that 12 anti-ship cruise missiles manufactured in Russia were smuggled into Lebanon in order to prevent air attacks by Israel.
 However, the official stated that Hezbollah is still missing pieces in order to operate the anti-ship cruise missiles.  According to the report, Hezbollah also obtained long-range Scud D missiles that are able to reach deep into Israel, as well as Scud C missiles, Fajr missiles, and aircraft equipment.
 Last July, a mysterious attack took place in a warehouse in Latakia, Syria, which according to US sources is attributed to Israel.  The complex probably served the Syrian Navy, where various weapons were stored.
 These missiles are the type that can reach Israel’s gas fields and damage Israeli naval ships.  Therefore, they are missiles that Israel cannot be permited to threaten Israel.
