‘Hizbullah arms real danger to Israel’.

Top US senator says there is a high likelihood terror group has Scuds.

Following last week’s uncertainty surrounding a reported Syrian Scud missile delivery to Hizbullah, a senior US senator said Tuesday that the guerrilla group probably possessed the weapons and that its missiles posed a real danger to Israel.

“I believe there is a likelihood that there are Scuds that Hizbullah has in Lebanon. A high likelihood,” Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat from California, told AFP.”The rockets and missiles in Lebanon are substantially increased and better technologically than they were and this is a real point of danger for Israel.”

Feinstein stressed that the tensions in the North would only subside with a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.

“There’s only one thing that’s going to solve it, and that’s a two-state solution,” she said.

Hizbullah sources confirmed last week that the group had received a shipment of Scud missiles from Syria, but Damascus denied the reports, saying Israel was trying to stoke tensions in the region
