DAMASCUS, Syria — A high-ranking Syrian official confirmed that Israel's airstrike last month in northern Syria hit a nuclear facility, according to a document obtained Wednesday by FOX News.

"Israel was the fourth-largest exporter of weapons of mass destruction and a violator of other nations' airspace, and it had taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria," Syrian representative Bassam Darwish is quoted in the document as saying.

do I really have to say it???

[M. Espinola]

The Assad clan was looked totally preposterous in their ongoing denials, since it's already a known fact their nuke plant was whacked!

IAF, better hunting next time in Damascus when 'The Doctor' is at home plotting more terrorism against Israel, Lebanon & against US troops combating jihadist terrorists supplied by Syria and Iran (both supplied with weapons via Moscow).

What will be equally interesting is follow up articles that go into details as to what the Syrians really had. Where they just starting to pour concrete for building infrastructure, have they had a nuclear site say along the lines of a full blown reactor facility like the one at Osirik. If no reactor was present, or in the process of being built. Just what did they have. A few hot labs perhaps where they fiddled around with isotopic research proceedures that eventually be utilized in standard proceedures once a reactor was constructed and in the future activated. Who knows at present.
Funny we have never heard anything about the Syrian nuclear program if it really exists as a fully supported government program.

Didn't the IAF buzz Pencil Neck's Palace on July 6, '07?

I don't think the targets were earth movers and concrete trucks on the Sept. raid.

Israel went via Turkey.

“UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations has apologised to Syria over an interpreter’s error that created the wrong impression that Damascus admitted that an Israeli air strike last month targeted a Syrian nuclear site, a spokesman said on Monday.”
