(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Israel struck a convoy of trucks carrying Iranian weapons along the Syrian-Iraqi border last month, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi confirmed on Wednesday. Kohavi told a conference at Reichman University that the IDF had "perfect intelligence" to hit "Truck Number 8" out of a 25-truck caravan because it knew this truck was the one containing Iranian weapons. Kohavi gave this example to show the crucial connection between intelligence and operations. He said that sometimes Tehran has succeeded in smuggling weapons to Syria and Hizbullah in Lebanon, but that overall, Iran's dream of a "new Hizbullah" on the Syrian Golan Heights has been thwarted.
