Syria 'Ready For War' With Israel

Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) - Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem insists his nation is ready to go to war against Israel if Jerusalem dares to strike Syria as part of its battle with Hezbollah.

In the first visit by a senior Syrian official since Damascus's 29-year occupation of Lebanon came to an end last April, Moallem arrived in Beirut Sunday for talks with Lebanese officials.

Following a meeting with Lebanese President Emil Lahoud, Moallem said in remarks carried by the AP, "If Israel attacks Syria by any mean, on the ground, by air, our leadership ordered the armed forces to reply immediately."

Israel has repeatedly stated it has no intention of dragging Syria into the current conflict, despite that nation's known financial, logistical and material support for Hezbollah.
