"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. And guess what happened with the Russian super-hyper-sophisticated cutting edge antiaircraft missile batteries when that penetration took place on September 6th.

I think it was American stealth planes from Iraq (which is VERY close to the bombing site) that conducted the raid. Israeli specials forces placed the dropped fuel tank in Turkey to mess with their heads. Israel's F15I's with external weapons and auxiliary fuel tanks would look HUGE on radar.

Unless radar suppression and its demonstration was one of the points of the exercise.
