KUWAIT CITY, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Hezbollah and the Syrian army would join forces on all levels in a war with Israel, sources told the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Rai.
A report in al-Rai Monday said Hezbollah and the Syrian army plan to cooperate in intelligence-gathering and have agreed to exchange data concerning a "bank of Israeli targets" to be hit in the event of a conflict with Israel, the newspaper said.
The newspaper based its report on interviews with unnamed sources.
Syrian military officials would set up a joint situation room with Hezbollah operatives and pool intelligence resources from the battlefield, the report said.
The report said Syrian intelligence units are focusing their efforts on gathering information on the operations of Israel's Air Force, including its flight patterns, the newspaper said.
The report said if a war broke out, Syria would benefit greatly from Turkey's decision to close its airspace to Israeli military aircraft. UPI
