Tensions with Syria continue, while Israel Air Force officer says short-range rockets are the main threat.



Syria's Information Minister Muhsin Bilal says the "Syrian nation will not wait much longer for the return of the Golan Heights." He told the Egyptian Al-Ahram newspaper that though Syria has waited patiently for 16 years hoping the "peace for land" formula would be implemented, "nothing has happened."



In the meanwhile, an Israel Air Force officer said today that the main threat against Israel today stems from short-range rockets from Gaza, Lebanon and possibly Judea and Samaria.



"If the IDF had had full intelligence on everything going on in southern Lebanon near Israel, we could have prepared better for a better solution, both from the air and on the ground, to the short-range Katyusha missiles," he said.



The officer said that the maps used by the Air Force were more up-to-date than those used by the ground forces.



Two Kassam rockets were fired by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza Monday morning. The rockets landed just short of the northern Gaza border fence, causing no damage.
