Hezbollah Moving Long-Range Missiles From Syria To Lebanon, An Analyst Says -- New York Times

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Amid the chaos of Syria’s civil war, Hezbollah has been moving long-range missiles to Lebanon from bases where it had stored them inside Syria, including long-range Scud D missiles that can strike deep into Israel, according to an Israeli national security analyst.

The analyst, Ronen Bergman, who has close contacts with Israeli intelligence officials, said Thursday that despite Israel’s undeclared campaign of airstrikes in Syria to stop new deliveries, most of the long-range surface-to-surface missiles given to Hezbollah by its allies Iran and Syria have been disassembled and moved to Lebanon.

What is amazing to me is that a lot people seemed surprise the Irani's are doing this. Considering their behavior for the last 30+ yrs it's a natural move for them.
