While I cannot stand the anti-American NYT, Dimona has been talked about for years in defense intelligence circles.
The Israelis are tight with security, so much tighter than we are here in the US. They were able to create and implement Stuxnet, a process which took several years, without a whisper of the project getting out to the rest of the world. Screw the NYT, they’re a day late on this one.
May they always be so.
