israel admits air strike on syria

israel admits air strike on syriafrom bbc: Israel has confirmed that it carried out a strike on a Syrian military installation last month.

Syria accused Israel at the time but Israeli officials refused to comment, and the Israeli military censor imposed a strict blackout on information.

The censor's office has now allowed some details to be released.

On Monday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told the BBC that a Syrian military construction site was hit in the Israeli air strike on 6 September.

Israeli Army radio reported that Israeli planes attacked a military target "deep inside Syria", quoting the military censor. No further details were given.

The photo of the Israeli jet brings to mind a certain jingle, "GE . . . we bring good things to life."*

*Except, you know, you smallish, brown skinned people of a religion which we do not understand.
