US Congress secretly approves weapons flow to Syrian ‘rebels’ 28 Jan 2014 Light arms supplied by the United States are flowing to “moderate” Syrian rebel factions terrorists in the south of the country and US funding for months of further deliveries has been approved by Congress, according US and European security officials. The weapons, most of which are moving to ‘rebels’ via Jordan, include a variety of small arms, as well as some more powerful weapons, such as anti-tank rockets. The weapons deliveries have been funded by the US Congress, in votes behind closed doors, through the end of government fiscal year 2014, which ends on Sept. 30, two officials said.
Evidence points to secret Israeli strike on Syrian missile launchers 27 Jan 2014 Growing evidence suggests that the Israeli Air Force carried out a secret mission in Syria Sunday night, targeting Russian-made missile launchers deployed by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad. A few minutes before midnight, a number of regional news sources reported a loud explosion in the coastal town of Latakia, where the S-300 systems are thought to be located. Those reports came on the heels of Lebanese media describing sightings of Israeli aircraft in Lebanese airspace [*another* UN violation], which Israeli planes would have to cross in order to reach targets on the Syrian coastal plain.
