The destruction of the Al-Kubar reactor
The Israeli military revealed that over 10 years ago, four F-16 fighters carried out air raids on installations in the Dajr az-Zaur region in the east of Syria, which in the last months of 2007 were to be operated by Bashar al-Assad's regime. Israeli involvement in the mission of 2007 was one of the best kept secrets and it is not known why Israel decided to reveal it now - the AP notes further and adds that the Israeli army will not comment on the reasons for disclosing this information.
