: Is it truth or is it fiction? Concerned human rights people : think it is but a story concocted jointly by the Israelis and : the PA to serve as a reason for a crackdown once the PA : and Israel reach what appears to be a humiliating "peace". : Scary times appear coming. The US has shown it can act : in the most awful ways in support of Israel. : RLA : New threats emerge in West Bank : USDefense.com Friday, June 23, 2000 : http://www.usdefense.com/june2000/D/23/story6.htm : MIDDLE EAST | Analysts with a leading U.S.-based economic and : intelligence forecasting firm said indications are that new : violence against Israel may be forming in the West Bank. : Once-separate terrorist groups, Hamas and the Hizbollah, may be : forming a coalition to wage more terrorist operations against Tel : Aviv, now that Israel has pulled out of southern Lebanon. : Weapons caches left behind by the former Israeli ally, the South : Lebanese Army, have been plundered by Hizbollah factions that : waged terrorist warfare campaigns against Israel for decades. The : weapons, sources told Stratfor.com, appear to be moving into the : West Bank. : Palestinian authorities said that the weapons were "flowing in : like a river," and could indicate new problems for Tel Aviv. : The terrorist groups, sponsored by Iran, also pose a danger to : the ongoing peace process in the region. Since a change of : leadership in Syria -- which also supported the groups in the : past -- after the death of President Assad earlier this month, : Damascus may also find itself with its first major foreign policy : challenge, analysts said Friday. : Bashar Assad, the late Hafez Assad's son, "will have a difficult : time curbing Hezbollah. He is still solidifying his political : base in Damascus, where he is still vulnerable and does not yet : wield the power of his late father," Stratfor.com said. : "Additionally, the expected deployment of United Nations : peacekeepers in South Lebanon will not make it easier for the : Syrian army to assert control," analysts said Friday. : (c) 2000 USDefense.com.
