A James Bond incursion into Syria

IT was just after midnight when the 69th Squadron of Israeli F15Is crossed the Syrian coast-line. On the ground, Syria’s formidable air defences went dead. An audacious raid on a Syrian target 50 miles from the Iraqi border was under way.

At a rendezvous point on the ground, a Shaldag air force commando team was waiting to direct their laser beams at the target for the approaching jets. The team had arrived a day earlier, taking up position near a large underground depot. Soon the bunkers were in flames.

According to an Israeli air force source, the Israeli satellite Ofek 7, launched in June, was diverted from Iran to Syria. It sent out high-quality images of a northeastern area every 90 minutes, making it easy for air force specialists to spot the facility.

As a bonus, the Israelis proved they could penetrate the Syrian air defence system, which is stronger than the one protecting Iranian nuclear sites.

Experts from the Sunday Times.
The ties between North Korea and Syria.
"...In recent months, Kim Jong Il and Bashar Assad have quietly ordered an increase in military and technical co-operation which has caught the attention of western and Israeli intelligence."...
"...Syria possesses the biggest missile arsenal and the largest stockpile of chemical weapons in the Middle East, built up over the last two decades with arms bought from North Korea. North Korea, which exploded a nuclear device in October last year, has become critical to Syria's plans to enhance and upgrade its weapons. Syria's liquid fuelled Scud-C missiles depend on "essential foreign aid and assistance, primarily from North Korean entities," said the CIA in a report to the US Congress in 2004. "...
..."The triangular relationship between North Korea, Syria and Iran continues to perplex diplomats and intelligence analysts."...
..."One fact is that Syria has served as a conduit for the transport to Iran of an estimated 50 mln pounds worth of missile components and technology sent by sea from North Korea to the Syrian port of Tartous, diplomats said."...
...'The next day, in a message that went largely un-noticed as the United States commemorated September 11, 2001, the North Koreans condemned the Israeli action as "illegal" and "a very dangerous provocation.".... see here.

From "Today's Zaman" 14.09.2007
"War and provocation"
"The most important event of the last week seems to be the alleged aggression by Israel on Syrian soil. Syrian authorities reported that Israeli warplanes violated the border and bombed Tall al-Abyad."... see here.

North Korea dropped out from the axis of evil (Iran, Syria) but under the hood export nuclear commodities to Syria.

Ryan, thanks for the 'good stuff' flag.

..Yes an amazing story. But as more stories, from different sources, are converging to the same facts, perhaps is the story becoming more credible.
