Israel says it was behind 2007 airstrike on Syrian nuclear facility - UPI.com
UPI reports: "For the first time, the Israeli government said Wednesday it was behind
a 2007 bombing of a Syrian nuclear facility -- a disclosure intended to
send a message that it won't accept a nuclear Iran.
Israeli intelligence minister Yisrael Katz directly warned Tehran that
Israel would not allow it to develop and possess nuclear weapons."
Comment: There are times when I realize how desensitized I am to the situation after something happens to shock me back to the reality of how far things have progressed. We are living in a time when Iranian military forces are deployed to a state directly bordering Israel. This is one of those things we may be aware of but the full impact of it is registering less than it should. Iran has emerged from the nuclear deal with a renewed confidence and a bold program for regional hegemony. We know that Israel and Saudi Arabia are ready and willing to challenge Iran every step of the way. The danger is that this war for regional supremacy could erupt into a much larger war at any moment. American troops, Russian troops, Turks and Iranians all operating inside Syria while next door Israel watches nervously. What could possibly go wrong?
