(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.

Is that a satellite intel photo? If so, would it be availabe on the ‘Net?
Would you care to say what that Syrian base contained?
British Lancasters overflew Sweden to successfully attack the Tirpitz during WW-II. (The flew low to take advantage of a gap in German radar coverage between Denmark and Norway and then up along western Sweden to attack from east, taking the Germans completely by surprise. Alfred Price, “Instruments of Darkness”. Great, great book.)
I am intrigued!
Important ping: Israel knocks out important Syrian site!
Hmm. Maybe it was announced today, 9/11, for a reason.
The air strike "left a big hole in the desert" in Syria.
It's a beautiful world.

Iran now you what a practice run looks like.Good Luck.
I wish the Iranians would rise up and rid themselves of Pres. Imadinnerjacket and the crackpot Ayatollahs. They had better pray to alla because that is alla they are going to have left! Thank Jimmy Carter for the current mess in Iran - it was cowardice that brought in Khomeini et al. And we have not yet recovered from it.
Do you have coordinates?
