Acceleration of Syrian-Iranian meddling in Lebanon

By Olivier Guitta

Things are heating up rapidly around Lebanon.
It is not only Fatah Al Islam fighting the Lebanese Army but also attacks against UNIFIL and now Syria and Iran preparing for a possible Hezbollah-Israel war.

For proof, this story from The Croissant:

Iran providing Syria with Revolutionary Guards and weapons

According to Syrian sources, passengers flying out of Damascus airport from last Tuesday to Thursday were sent home by authorities because of an alleged general breakdown.
The cancellation of all the flights was rather due to the fact that a massive airlift between Tehran and Damascus was under way and needed to proceed with the utmost discretion.
Six planes flew round the clock between the two capitals to bring in weapons and Revolutionary Guards to the Syrian capital.
These men and weapons are going to be sent to Lebanon to help Hezbollah prepare for another war.
