European Union diplomats agreed to impose sanctions on 13 top Syrian officials, but not on President Bashar al-Assad, even as thousands defied a formidable miliary presence to protest against the regime.
On Friday, diplomats met in Brussels to discuss sanctions. The officials, who are from the country's military, its intelligence services and government, will be subject to asset freezes and travel bans. The EU has agreed to halt arm sales to Syria.

I guess that plays straight into the hands of the Israelis...no guns and ammo...no threat.
