While Israel continues to monitor events in Syria, state officials in that country have already blamed the �Zionists� with involvement, accusing Israel of arming rebel forces in an effort to topple Bashar al-Assad�s government.

Working to assist his ally, President Bashar al-Assad, Hizbullah television is spreading the word of the Israeli involvement in efforts to oust Assad from office. Hizbullah affiliated al-Manar TV reported undercover IDF units operating in Syria, showing a weapons cache in Qusair which included an Uzi, which the reporter stated was given to rebel forces by Israel.
