(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Israel escalated its diplomatic offensive against Syria Monday, while Hizballah, for the first time in three days, refrained from firing anti-aircraft guns toward Israel. One Israeli diplomatic source said Israel believes "the type of escalation over the last few days that included firing directly into an Israeli town, and not just in the area around Har Dov, could not have taken place without prior coordination with Syria." The official would not say whether Israel believes Syria initiated the escalation. However, he said, Syria "has to make sure this doesn't happen, and they are not doing that."
