The Israeli enemy has expressed concern over Russia's decision to fulfill its contract to supply Syria with cruise missiles, claiming they could end up in the hands of Hezbollah.
Security officials warned that the Russian cruise missiles are potentially dangerous weapons and they may come fall into the hands of Hezbollah, just as other weapons systems came from Syria.
"The question of these missiles' delivery to Syria really has triggered a negative reaction in Israel," the Israeli ambassador to Moscow, Dorit Golender, told the Interfax news agency. "And this is understandable since Hezbollah has repeatedly used weapons that they received either from Lebanon or Syria."
"The contract is in the implementation stage," news agencies quoted Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov as saying.
Russia planned on selling two surface-to-air rocket units armed with P-800, or Yakhont, missiles to Damasacus in a deal worth $300 million, Russian media previously reported.
