Israel Threatens to Return Syria to Stone Age if Hezbollah Launches Scuds

The Israelis are obviously very concerned. They are threatening immediate retaliation against Syria itself if these long range ballistic missiles are launched against Israel. Off-the-record, an Israeli minister said,

“We’ll return Syria to the Stone Age by crippling its power stations, ports, fuel storage and every bit of strategic infrastructure if Hezbollah dare to launch ballistic missiles against us.”
