Ynet: Plenty of credit to go around in Syrian reactor strike, by Nahum Barnea

[ssba]

One thing is indisputable: The attack on the North Korean nuclear reactor in Syria was one of the most successful military operations conducted by Israel in its 70 years of independence.

The operational part, which began with intelligence suspicions, continued with a heroic gathering of information and ended in a surgical airstrike, was completed as planned: The reactor was destroyed to the ground, the project was dead, and Syrian President Bashar Assad was left with plausible deniability that prevented the region from deteriorating to war.

The operational part is fascinating. As I write these words, the full details have yet to be cleared for publication in Israel, although extensive segments have been published in the global press.
