The victory achieved by the Syrian army in Qusair sends a clear message to Israel, a statement from the General Command of the Syrian army said on Wednesday, Syrian state news agency SANA reported.
The Syrian army seized control of the strategic border town of Qusair on Wednesday, Syrian media and security sources said, in a major advance for President Bashar Assad's forces in the country's two-year civil war.
"The victory that was achieved at the hands of our brave soldiers sends a clear message to all those who are involved in the aggression against Syria, on top being the Zionist enemy and its agents in the region and tools on the ground," the statement said
"Our armed forces will remain ready to face any aggression against our dear homeland," it continued.
Rebels said they had pulled out of Qusair, which lies on a cross-border supply route with neighboring Lebanon and where they had fought fierce battles with government forces and Hezbollah guerrillas for more than two weeks.
One Hezbollah fighter told Reuters that they took the town in a rapid overnight offensive, allowing some of the fighters to flee. "We did a sudden surprise attack in the early hours and entered the town. They escaped," he said.

Fear not... the bloodthirsty are sending 24 F-16's to Jordan probably to bomb the shit out of Syria. Assad could really do with those S-300s.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Jordanian officials said Wednesday that the U.S. will deploy anti-missile batteries and F-16 jet fighters in the kingdom to bolster its defense capabilities in the face of a Syrian attack.
Two security officials involved in the deployment, expected in the coming days, said that Washington is deploying one or two Patriot missile launchers on the northern border with Syria and a squadron of 12 to 24 F-16 warplanes as part of the international military maneuver "Eager Lion."
