Report: Syria mobilizing reserve divisions

The IDF on Sunday mobilized a reserve infantry division in preparation for a possible ground incursion into south Lebanon. The move was intended as the beginning of a new effort to push Katyusha launching cells away from the Israel-Lebanon border.

The division was setting up command posts along the northern border and tanks and armored personnel carriers were being transported northward.

Simultaneously, Al-Arabiya television reported that the Syrian military was mobilizing its own reserve divisions.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz insisted on Sunday afternoon that the IDF was not going to invade south Lebanon as yet.
