Britain's London Telegraph reports that Israeli officials believe that Syria is preparing for a major war against the Jewish state.
"Israeli intelligence officials have been warning for weeks that Syria is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in anti-tank weapons, antiaircraft rockets, and other missiles, and bolstering its presence along the Israeli border," the paper reports.
Also unsettling was comments from Mohammad al Habash, a Syrian parliament member, made during an appearance on the Al Jazeera satellite channel this week.
 Al Habash said Syrian was "actively preparing for war with Israel, which he said he expected to break out this summer."
This past Tuesday Israel's military engaged in war games in preparation for a Syrian attack.
"Israel seeks peace with Syria," Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said. But he cautioned "miscalculations that could cause the security situation to worsen".
