“We have many cards that have not been played. Don’t forget there are many Israeli settlements in the Golan.”

That sure sounds like a threat to me. These words were spoken by Foreign Minister Farouq al-Shara of Syria. These words were spoken during an interview with a British Sunday newspaper.

You may remember that Israel recently carried out an attack against what it called a “Terrorist camp” in Damascus, Syria.

Syria did not retaliate after Israel raided what it called a “terrorist camp” near Damascus earlier this month, its first strike on Syria in three decades.

“But if we are attacked again the people will not stand for it, and we will have to carry out the will of the people,” Shara said saturday.

Israel should think long and hard before it returns its military to Syria for these types of operations.
On another note, Syria should focus on these terrorist groups/camps if they do in fact exist, and try to eliminate them.

Quneitra on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, most of which was captured by
Israel in 1967, Tuesday Oct. 14 2003. The town was damaged during the 1973
Arab-Israeli war. Since Oct. 5, when Israeli warplanes attacked an area near the
Syrian capital of Damascus, Syria and Israel have been trading threats. Israel
said it will attack Syria again in case of an attack against Israeli civilians
and Syria said it will respond to any Israeli ‘aggression’ in all possible ways.
