(Yediot Ahronot-Hebrew) Yizthak Ben-Horin - Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz met with his American counterpart Donald Rumsfeld in Washington on Monday, where they discussed tensions on Israel's northern border and Iranian support for terror and its efforts to develop nuclear weapons. Mofaz explained that the Israeli airstrike near Damascus last month occurred because there are many terrorist bases in Syria, and that if the terrorist organizations continue to operate from there, Israel will be forced to attack Syrian territory again. Mofaz also said Hizballah terrorist cells are operating in the PA-controlled territories.
