'Mideast war this summer':Syrian official threatens 'resistance' by September, warns Damascus preparing for large-scale conflict

GOLAN HEIGHTS-If Israel doesn't vacate the strategic Golan Heights before September, Syrian guerrillas will immediately launch "resistance operations" against the Golan's Jewish communities, a top official from Syrian President Bashar Assad's Baath party told WND.
The Baath official, who spoke on condition his name be withheld, said Damascus is preparing for anticipated Israeli retaliation following Syrian guerrilla attacks and for a larger war with the Jewish state in August or September. He said in the opening salvo of any conflict, Syria has the capabilities of firing "hundreds" of missiles at Tel Aviv.
"Syria passed repeated messages to the U.S. that we demand the return of the Golan either through negotiations or through war.If the Golan is not in our hands by August or September, we will be poised to launch resistance, including raids and attacks against Jewish positions (in the Golan Heights)," the Baath official said.The Golan Heights is strategic mountainous territory looking down on Israeli population centers captured by Israel after Syria twice used the territory to attack the Jewish state.The Baath official said a new purported guerrilla group called the Committees for the Liberation of the Golan Heights has been training and is ready to attacks against Jewish communities in the Golan in August or September."More and more of our units have undergone intensive trainings starting at 6 a.m. and finishing late into the evening.If the need arises, we are ready for a war," said the official.The official said Syria "learned from the Hezbollah experience last summer and we can have hundreds of missiles hitting Tel Aviv that will overwhelm Israel's anti-missile batteries."He claimed Syria has "proof" Israel is also readying for a war."We hear about special Israeli trainings to take Damascus.We see that Israel is re-establishing bases of the Israeli army in the Golan that are unusual and not needed except for war.We believe the Israeli government has an interest in confronting Syria to rehabilitate its image of losing to Hezbollah," he said.He also claimed newly installed Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a former prime minister, "wants to prove he is a military expert."
