Satellite Photos Show Cleansing of Syrian Site

New commercial satellite photos show that a Syrian site believed to have been attacked by Israel last month no longer bears any obvious traces of what some analysts said appeared to have been a partly built nuclear reactor.

The larger red circle looks like the area was caved in by a blast. Notice how it was circular before and much of it is angular now.

Second smaller circle, they created a new road (or is it an air strip), probably to truck out the contaminants.

It didn’t take the Syrians long to clean up the remainder of the bombed out building. My suspicion is that they will now claim to the UN that Israel bombed a water purification center.

Also in the larger red circle the dirt that was to the right of the reactor looks like it was replaced by grey rock of some sort. hmmmmmm. Very interestink

I want to see a picture from September 7th

I’d prefer to see imagery from Sep 5th and then the 7th......in fact I find it suspicious that we don’t.

This is your Nuclear weapons site; and this is your Nuclear weapons site after you pi$$ of Israel.

Actually, it looks like a small hill/rise that was partially removed with frontloaders or bulldozers to provide material to dump into the "hole" that probably existed where the building formerly was. --Garth

There is however, what appears to be a very large hole in the site where the building once stood.

Wouldn’t there be a lot of radioactive contamination from some explosive scattered material? Just a question.

The areas you have marked in red are not from bomb damage. This is earth material used to cover up the site. Dirt appears to have been moved from two locations you marked to cover up radioactive debris at the building site. The gray area around the site is powdered concrete from the bomb strike that leveled the reactor building.

I wonder what the rectangular hole is. The one with the railroad tracks leading up to it?????

[hophead]

The larger red circle is a berm, or whats left of it. To the top right of the circle is a black object inside a crater so to speak. Its in both pictures, pretty much unchanged.
I do not see any other bomb damage. It seems that ONLY the boxy building was hit directly.
The long building at the top of the picture looks the same, no bomb damage. Why was that left standing? Where are the other bombing craters? Something is wrong with this picture!

I’d have liked to have seen some immediate post-attack imagery, but that’s probably classified “Top Secret/Deity” so never mind.

It’s posts like this with great pictures that lifts my heart and makes me glad that there is a Free Republic and those crazy people that call themselves Freepers.

“Wouldn’t there be a lot of radioactive contamination from some explosive scattered material? Just a question.”

No. It was not an operating reactor. The scale of the picture looks better when you know the “reactor” was about 150’ square. Why was the building at the top of the picture not taken out also?

Because Assad brought it down with shaped charges! /truther

Curiousity will bring me back.
