US intervenes in Israeli/Hezbollah war

"Officials: U.S. blocked missiles to Hezbollah"

The United States blocked an Iranian cargo plane's flight to Syria last month after intelligence analysts concluded it was carrying sophisticated missiles and launchers to resupply Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, two U.S. intelligence officials say.

Eight days after Hezbollah's war with Israel began, U.S. diplomats persuaded Turkey and Iraq to deny the plane permission to cross their territory to Damascus, a transfer point for arms to Hezbollah, the officials said.

The episode was detailed by one U.S. intelligence official who saw a report on the incident. It was confirmed by a U.S. official from a second intelligence agency and by a diplomat with a foreign government. They did not want their names used because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.

That's a shame. ISreal should have kept on supressing resistance until lebanon was a majority christian nation again.

I am sure Iraq needed much persuasion .

That is good however, I'm glad there will be less weaponry in the area.

If France had drawn decent borders , it still would be.  The Bekka Valley, given its history and geography, should have been part of Syria, not Lebanon.
