Nasrallah: Gaza violence a test for 'Arab Spring'

[SAT]

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Monday described the wave of violence in the Gaza Strip as a test for the "Arab Spring nations," saying it will be a tough question for Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, Lebanese news site Naharnet reported.

Nasrallah also described Hezbollah's unmanned aerial vehicle, shot down by Israel last month, as part of the group's deterrence strategy. "We have reached a point where we forced the enemy (Israel) to acknowledge the deterrence force created by the Resistance (Hezbollah) in Lebanon," according to the report.

Ohhh Kaaay. That's goofy logic, as far as I'm concerned, but whatever works for them. That's kinda like "I provoked the big guy into giving me a bloody nose, so I could prove he knows that he's bigger than me."

Police arrested a 24-year-old man at Heathrow airport on Monday as part of an investigation into people travelling to Syria for "alleged terrorist activity".

The man, who had arrived in the UK on a plane from Bahrain, was held "on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism", said the force.

He was taken to a police station in south London for questioning by officers from Counter Terrorism Command, the police added in a statement.

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri last month called on Muslims to join the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, according to the SITE monitoring service.

Islamist militant groups have played an increasingly significant role in the fighting.

British police arrested a man and a woman at Heathrow last month as part of similar investigations into travel to Syria. A 26-year-old man was charged on October 16. The woman was released without charge.

AP World leaders don't think Assad wants to get into a fight with Israel but fear the embattled Syrian leader may try to draw Israel into the fighting in a bout of desperation

I'm thinking that now, would be a very good time to move out of Damascus.

Hi Humble
I know the reports, including the AP article, state Israel does not want to get into it with Syria.
I suspect Israeli leadership realize if they did they would be doing exactly what Iran and Hezbollah want them to do. So we may see Israel show a lot of patience this time around.
Personally??
I don't think it is Israel but most likely radical Islam (brother against brother) that will bring down Damascus and put the last nail in the coffin of radical Islam.
The Bible doesn't state Isreal will be the reason for Damascus. So at this point it could be anyone.

Salafists keep up missile fire after most Palestinian Gaza groups buy a truce

Most Palestinians organizations led by Hamas convened in Gaza City Monday night, Nov. 12, to approve the cessation of their three-day rocket offensive against Israel brokered by Egypt. The meeting was shunned by the Salafists, who instead signaled their repudiation of a truce by firing 5 heavy Grad rockets against the Israeli towns of Netivot, Beersheba and Ofakim.

New Syrian opposition chief seeks recognition, arms

And, like the United States, Europeans are still reluctant to arm rebel forces which include anti-Western Islamist militants.

Western caution, and an Arab League endorsement that stopped short of full recognition, indicate that the coalition forged with such difficulty in Qatar two days ago may yet find it hard to win wholehearted support, even from its allies.
