(IsraelNN.com) Israeli TV Channel 1 said Tuesday that the IDF "definitely carried out an attack" against Syria last Thursday. The attack was meaningful, the channel's military affairs reporter said, and was probably carried out against a large and important target that justified taking this kind of extreme action at such a sensitive time in Israeli-Syrian relations.
The target hit was in the Deir Ez-Zour region in eastern Syria, near the Euphrates river.
The attack was carried out by Israel Air Force (IAF) F-15i jets (The 'i' stands for 'Israel') referred to in Hebrew as Ra'am, or 'thunder.' Anti-aircraft fire from the ground was inefficient, Channel 1 said.

According to your map the F-15’s overflew Turkey. I realize it’s just a depiction of what happened but I believe Turkey was helping Israel out with a cover story after the fact. If the planes did overfly Turkey it was with their approval and very interesting if so.
Fascinating post. I saw the smudges but no big hole. As long as they destroyed what they feared.

Good, maybe the US will follow Israel's lead re Syrian and Iranian bases supporting terrorists in Iraq. If not, maybe the Iraqi military will be ready soon.
Hmmm...Like the SAMs could carry the non-existent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction?
No...
They never existed (sarcasm off).
How quickly is Google Earth updated?
It’s about time that someone got syrias in the war on terror.
Thats right, two of the drop tanks were found on Turkish soil.
Excellent tag that is a matter of life and death.
This feels like a false flag operation to shut down an operation shipping munitions into Iraq.
At the very least, nothing like this would go unnoticed by US forces in Iraq. There had to be some “understanding” before the fact.
Thanks Ernest for both pings.

This will embarrass Putin if any Russky naval vessels were in or near port right then.
another....giggle.
Yep.
And did ya catch the obligatory White House warning to Israel today?
In identical letters to UN chief Ban Ki-moon and to French Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert, the current president of the Security Council, Jaafari said the Israeli planes last Thursday crossed Syria's northern frontier and dropped "some munitions without managing to cause any human casualties or material damage".
Baghdad Bob is that you?
DAMN! Barkeep... 
a round for our Israeli friends!
Sorry Guys. Google Earth is only updated once or twice a year even in the most populated areas of the world.
If so, we owe Israel big-time!
However, I would like to think our B-2s or F-22s could do the same job and not be detected enough to be blamed.
Then again... 
Maybe, could Israel be taking the heat for us?
No *human* casualties... ;’)
