Report: Israel believes Syria renewing its nuclear activity
By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Syria, nuclear program 

Israel believes that Syria has renewed its nuclear activity with the intention of attaining weapons along the Iranian model, the Arabic-language A-Sharq al-Awsat reported on Thursday.

According to the report, Israeli military officials are concerned that Syria hopes to construct a number of nuclear facilities across the country simultaneously.

The military officials, who were apparently cited during a briefing of "a group of journalists," said that Israel would not allow Damascus to imitate the Iranian model, and would work tirelessly to halt any such Syrian effort.

Al-Sharq al-Awsat on Wednesday quoted Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem denying the Israeli accusation that his country was arming Hezbollah.

"It is not correct that Syria is supplying Hezbollah with weapons and equipment, as is claimed. Hezbollah does not need this," Moallem told the pan-Arab paper.

He argued that Israel was making the accusations merely as an excuse for Israel Air Force overflights of Lebanon.
