Jerusalem - Israel accused Syria on Monday
of continuing to smuggle weapons to Hezbollah fighters in
Lebanon in violation of a United Nations-backed ceasefire.
The country warned that it might take military action if the shipments didn't stop.
"We view this with great severity," Israeli defence minister
Amir Peretz is reported to have told a parliamentary panel after hearing an army
intelligence officer give details of the alleged smuggling.
