Speaking of covert....

Official confirms Syria allowing Qaida to operate in Lebanon
A Jerusalem source confirmed an exclusive report in Ha‘aretz on Monday that Damascus has allowed some 150-200 Qaida operatives to settle in
the Palestinian refugee camp Ein Hilwe near Sidon in Lebanon. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source told the Associated Press that
the information had come from Israeli and Western intelligence sources.

According to the report, by Ha‘aretz Defense Correspondent Ze‘ev Schiff in Monday‘s print edition, the group, including senior commanders,
arrived from Afghanistan through Damascus, Iran and directly to Lebanon."

I also caught a little bit of a conversation between Chris Matthews and Sen. Diane Feinstein on this. She seems to think action against Israel will come from S. Lebanon and he agreed.
