Syrian Prime Minister Muhammad Naji al-Otari earlier this week released a statement threatening Israel that his country will retaliate forcibly to an Israeli attack. In an interview with the Turkish media, the senior Syrian official warned Israel it will pay a heavy price for any military attack.

Echoing the words of other Syrian officials and Arab heads of state, the prime minister dismissed accusations that Damascus is delivering Scud missiles to Hizbullah, as alleged by Israel.
