Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Zeev Elkin warned Syria today that his country would act to prevent any further shipments of advanced arms to Lebanon’s Hezbollah’s militia.

“From our perspective, if there is a transfer of arms we will do everything we can to stop it,” Elkin said today in an interview with Army Radio. Shipments of advanced arms outside Syria “changes the status quo” in the region, he said.
