...”Notice how far away Dayr az-Zawr is from Israel. An F15/16 attack there is not a tiptoe across the border, but a deep, deep penetration of Syrian airspace.”...
Of course, that is if the IAF went over the Med through Turkey and in. Could be that they went through Jordanian and Iraqi airspace, aided by US SOF to shut down Syrian air defenses. The Turkish incursion would be the diversion.
Perhaps US SOF were with Sayeret Matkal via 160th SOAR on the ground in Syria in a “dry run” for Iran. It’s coming, soon.
Sorry but we were no where near any of this. I have it on knowledgeable sources. The closest we came was testing material taken by the Israeli commando’s from Syrian soil.
