Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz told The Jerusalem Post on Friday. . . that there was no sign that Syria and Iran would be dragged into the conflict, but added that those who acted against Israel would themselves be acted against. "I see no reason that the Syrians would want to jump into a pool they are liable to drown in," he said, adding that the IDF has not seen any unusual Syrian military activity in recent days.
