JERUSALEM — Israel's government on Wednesday publicly confirmed for the first time that it had carried out an audacious 2007 strike against a reactor in Syria that could have produced nuclear weapons fuel, lifting a decade of secrecy surrounding the episode. The country's leaders used the occasion to warn that, if necessary, Israel would not hesitate to launch similar strikes again.
"The government of Israel, the IDF and the Mossad prevented Syria from developing a nuclear capability," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, referring to the Israel Defense Forces and the country’s spy agency. "Israel's policy has been and remains consistent — to prevent our enemies from arming themselves with nuclear weapons."
International tension has been mounting over Iran's nuclear ambitions, which were supposed to have been contained by a 2015 agreement with the United States and its European allies. Mr. Netanyahu has criticized that deal as a historic mistake and Israel has set off alarms about Iran's growing influence in Syria, where it is a key ally of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria in the country’s seven-year civil war. During that conflict, Israel has carried out scores of other covert strikes in Syria against advanced weapons convoys and stores...

Question 2: What if Israel had not bombed Iraq's Nuclear program in 1981?
I’m shocked....................................................................................that they admitted it....................
God Bless Israel,their Titanium Spine, and their bad @zz pilots with tweaked American Made Aircraft.
That's the money quote right there.
Would that our congressional leaders had the same amount of testicular fortitude....
Vagina’s don’t have testicles.
I’m cool with it, as long as there’s no hue and cry when a response occurs.
I was wondering who did that.
Vagina’s don’t have testicles.
Do you think less missiles would fly from Syria supported Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon if Israel would not have bombed Syria’s Nuclear Reactor?
They can Handle Syria!!! Huzzah!!!
I’m sure there would have been. But if you attack another sovereign nation’s interests, expect them to follow suit. It’s big boys rules.

A good chunk of it paid with the sweat of the American tax payer!
So why do we want to spend our blood over there too?
Let Israel handle it. Why do we need to be involved anyways???
And all this time I thought France did it.
Two planes. Syria lost its entire grid. They bombed it. They came home and had a snack.
That is ballet.
Interestingly, the US spends far less helping Israel militarily than it does helping any of Japan, Germany, or Korea.
And, unlike those countries, where US soldiers are the predominate forward force (especially near Japan), US troops seldom suffer at the tip of the spear for Israel.
Now, as someone who flies F-16s for a living, I do certainly appreciate US Aid. As the US (presumably) appreciates the hundreds of US pilots I have trained.
Your questions seem to indicate you’re unaware that Israel has always been ‘our’ footprint in the middle east..... most recognize that Israel’s taking out the nuke in Iran and Syria were not done without our awareness.
Do you meat that Zimbabwe didn’t do it?
It wasn’t on God’s timing to allow Iraq or Syria access to that technology then. The fullness of time hadn’t come yet - but looks pretty near now.
And Reagan was FURIOUS at Begin over that. Sadly, Ronnie was an absolute moron when it came to the Mideast and Israel -- kept ignorant by Arabists around him (Baker, Weinberger), no doubt.
“meat” - mean
