Any sign that Syria's grip on its chemical weapons is slipping as it battles an armed uprising could trigger Israeli military strikes, Israel's vice premier said on Sunday. A military spokesman confirmed reports that two Iron Dome batteries were moved to the Haifa area but insisted this was part of a routine of rotating these systems.

A drone was downed just a few kilometers from the shores of Haifa, around 30 km (20 miles) from the border with Lebanon. This was not the first time a drone from the north had flown over Israel, but always before, there was only one party to claim responsibility: Hezbollah. Not this time.
The Israeli media was busy analyzing this alleged move by Hezbollah, Arab media was busy parroting the Israeli analysis, and Israel was busy searching for the wreckage while Hezbollah was putting pen to paper, denying any connection.
