Syria preparing for communications cut off:Key officials given backup contacts as Damascus mobilizes for war

JERUSALEM-The Syrian government, preparing for a war with the Jewish state, has given its officials and top contacts alternative phone numbers to key government ministries in case the Damascus phone system is knocked out during an Israeli aerial bombardment, WND has learned.An official from Syrian President Bashar Assad's Baath party, speaking to WND from Damascus on condition of anonymity, said the Syrian government distributed the alternative phone numbers earlier this month to ensure continued communication in what he said was the "likely" event of war.He said Syria was worried that in the opening salvo of a possible confrontation with the Jewish state, the Israeli air force would bombard installations in Damascus, including telephone lines.
Yesterday, WND quoted a top Baath official warning if Israel doesn't vacate the strategic Golan Heights by August-September, Syrian guerrillas will immediately launch "resistance operations" against the Golan's Jewish communities. The Baath official 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.
