They didn't; you're thinking of the Iraqi light water reactor in Osiraq, which was bombed by Israel on June 7, 1981, after a previous attack by Iran on the reactor site failed.

It was one above-ground facility, like bombing your regional power plant. Iran has taken great care in spreading their program out and underground to become impermeable to conventional attack. Unfortunately for them, it leaves Israel only one choice. I said on another thread that Iran's key to survival is to drag all their crap above ground and dare Israel to destroy it all. Israel ends up looking like the bad guy if they do, but both countries live to see another day. Iran's incendiary rhetoric legitimizes the possibility of a pre-emptive attack. Iran's in a corner now, and they get to pick their poison, because, one way or another, either the nukes or the Iranian government is going to be a smoldering pile.

And the Israeli planes were painted with Iraqi markings. It will be hard to pull that trick again.
