Israel Shut Down Damascus Airport to Thwart Weapons Smuggling from Iran
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Israel's latest strike on Damascus airport stopped all flights for weeks. It seems the move was intended to thwart weapons smuggling from Iran by means of commercial flights. In the past, kits for satellite navigation systems to be installed on the rockets in Hizbullah's possession were smuggled in Iranian cargo planes landing in Damascus and from there sent in trucks to Lebanon.
