Brian Testerman, 25, and Collin Nailor, 24, had known each other for six years, and both saw the house as an investment: they'd buy a fixer-upper, live in it during the renovation, then sell for a profit.

An Israeli paper had, last weekend, quoted an unnamed official warning that Israel needed "to be very careful and sensitive these days. The Russians are selling many arms to Iran and Syria, and there is no need to offer them an excuse to sell even more advanced weapons."
