"Peggy EXACT same thought occurred to me yesterday too!"

Peggy EXACT same thought occurred to me yesterday too!  I couldn't remember the name of the of Damascus.  I was going to look it up, then look it up in the bible to see what it says.  But I got distracted thoroughly by Jim Bramlette's posting about Isaac Newton and 2006.
 
Here is a news article today:

    TEHRAN (AFP) - Defence ministers from close allies Iran and Syria on Thursday signed an agreement for military cooperation against what they called the "common threats" presented by Israel and the United States.

Israel Targets Hamas Leader in Syria

JERUSALEM (AP) -- An Israeli Cabinet minister on Wednesday accused the Hamas leader in Syria of ordering the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip and said he is a target for assassination.

Justice Minister Haim Ramon appealed for international help to force Syria to expel Khaled Mashaal from Damascus.

"He is definitely in our sights ... he is a target," Ramon told Army Radio.

Earlier Wednesday, Israel launched a ground offensive into the southern Gaza Strip in an effort to force the kidnappers to free the Israeli soldier.

Israel tried to kill Mashaal in a botched assassination attempt in Jordan in 1997. Two Mossad agents injected Mashaal with poison but were caught. As Mashaal lay dying in a Jordanian hospital, King Hussein of Jordan forced Israel to provide the antidote in return for the release of the Mossad agents.

After the assassination attempt, Jordan's relationship with Hamas deteriorated and Mashaal was expelled to Qatar, where he lived before moving to Damascus.
