Israel Criticizes Likely Russian Missile Deal with Syria

Its starting to get very dangerous. Israel's plans include destroying Syria's influence in Lebanon. This could lead to confrontation with Russia, which necessarily involves the U.S.:
Israel criticized Russia Friday for negotiating a new arms deal with Syria involving advanced anti-tank and
anti-aircraft missiles.

Israeli media quoted Israeli officials as saying they had learned
the sides are in the final stages of negotiations over the deal,
under which Moscow would sell several thousand of the missiles to
Damascus for hundreds of millions of dollars.

The advanced missiles are said to be capable of penetrating every
modern Western tank.

Israel Radio quoted senior government officials as warning that
the missiles sold by Russia would reach the Lebanese Hezbollah
movement, which would use them to blow up Israeli tanks.
