'IAF targeted Iranian weapons in Syria'

UPDATE ON SYRIAN STRIKE.
NY Times: Israel may have struck North Korean nukes
FROM ISRAELMATZAV:
This story fits in with my speculation that Israel struck chemical weapons in Syria last week. But in a variation on the theme, the New York Times says this morning that what Israel may have struck is 'nuclear material' that was unloaded on Syria by the North Koreans.
One Bush administration official said Israel had recently carried out reconnaissance flights over Syria, taking pictures of possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials believed might have been supplied with material from North Korea. The administration official said Israeli officials believed that North Korea might be unloading some of its nuclear material on Syria.

“The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria what little they have left,” the official said. He said it was unclear whether the Israeli strike had produced any evidence that might validate that belief.

This is great. It's about time the politicos in Israel allowed the military to do its job.

Israeli warplanes targeted weapons destined for Hizbullah in a strike last week in northeastern Syria, a US government official said Wednesday, even as Israel remained silent over the incident.
The official said the target in the strike last Thursday was a site where Israel believed Syria was storing weapons from Iran heading for the Lebanese terrorist group.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the information involves intelligence gathering and because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Officials in Washington declined for several days to say whether they were aware of the strike, then on Tuesday confirmed they had intelligence indicating it had taken place.
Meanwhile, Syria's UN Ambassador, Bashar Ja'afari, denied the reports on Wednesday, claiming the Israeli jets escaped without hitting their target, Israel Radio reported.
Ja'afari also said Israel's silence over the alleged strike resulted from the fact it constituted a violation of international law.
On Tuesday, CNN reported that Israel Air Force jets that allegedly infiltrated Syrian airspace early last Thursday apparently bombed an Iranian arms shipment that was being transferred to Hizbullah, Tuesday.
