Western media and rumors of Syrian weapons transfer to Hizbullah

"There seems little point in Syria transferring Scud-Ds to Hizbullah. These missiles are the Syrian variant of the North Korea Hwasong 7 and are believed to have a range of up to 700 km. While this means they could be used to target Israel from deep inside Syria, the range would be excessive for Hizbullah's requirements." "Hizbullah's ability to exploit the over-the-horizon range of the Yakhonts is also questionable, given its lack of aircraft with target acquisition radars."  For the latest rumors about Hizbullah, please refer to "reporting" in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Time magazine.
