Destination: Not Syria, but Lebanon?
Walla's ticker has some quotes from a press conference given earlier by General of the Northern Command Udi Adam. The one that is potentially the most problematic for Mere Rhetoric is: "we have no intentions of involving Syria. I hope that in Syria, they (Syrians) understand that they had better not intervene. This issue is with Lebanon". If true, this will make us look quite silly.
On the other hand, if Hezbollah TV is to be believed (and, in all fairness, the answer is no)... but if they are, then Lebanon may have just committed itself to something it might have wanted to avoid:
Air Defense forces of the Lebanese Army fired at IAF airplanes over the city Sidon, in Lebanon, as reported by the television station of the Hizbollah.
When the IAF hit Syria's radar station a little while ago, Syria didn't even bother scrambling their jets. If Lebanon really intends to engage Israeli arms with its own assets (let alone to send its army out to meet Israel) - if Lebanon is really going to get in the IDF's way, things could go quite badly for them quite quickly.
