Israel - Iran building missile factories in Syria and Lebanon
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41074830
Quote:Israel's prime minister has said Iran is building sites in Syria and Lebanon to produce precision-guided missiles.
Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of turning Syria into a "base of military entrenchment as part of its declared goal to eradicate Israel".
Iran's forces are supporting President Bashar al-Assad in Syria's war and it backs Lebanon's Hezbollah movement.
Mr Netanyahu's comments came as he held talks with UN Secretary General António Guterres in Jerusalem.
Quote:Mr Netanyahu gave no details about the sites Iran was allegedly building to manufacture missiles, but he warned "this is something Israel cannot accept".
Two weeks ago, the Israeli satellite imagery company ImageSat International published photographs it said appeared to confirm a report by a Syrian pro-opposition newspaper that a missile factory was under construction in north-western Syria under Iranian oversight.
ImageSat International said the facility in Wadi Jahannam, near the Mediterranean coastal town of Baniyas, bore a close resemblance to a missile factory near Tehran.
Quote:Mr Netanyahu also pressed Mr Guterres on the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, Unifil, which Israel alleges has failed to prevent Hezbollah building up its supply of weapons since they fought a war in 2006.
Mr Guterres promised to "do everything in my capacity" to ensure Unifil fulfilled its obligations.
"I understand the security concerns of Israel and I repeat that the idea or the intention or the will to destroy the state of Israel is something totally unacceptable from my perspective," he added.
Unifil's mandate is up for renewal at the end of the month.

This is Hezbollah's compensation for sending their fighters to Syria in order to save Assad's ass.

Especially since the Somali faction has captured the uranium mines.
