Syria and Hizbullah terrorists in Lebanon have raised their preparedness for an Israeli attack, according to the London-based Arabic newspaper Ash-Sharq il-Awsat. The newspaper says Hizbullah is worried by the concentration of Israeli troops along the Lebanese border ahead of maneuvers, even if Deputy Secretary-General Naim Kassam stressed that it was impossible to say for sure that the attack would be soon.

Kol Yisrael government radio adds that Syria is calling up reservists, including those who live in Lebanon.
