Yesterday the Washington Post<\/a> reported on the Israeli<\/a> air strike inside Syria<\/a>. The strike was apparently aimed at a new SA-17<\/a> antiaircraft missile battery the Syrians<\/a> had placed northwest of Damascus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Israeli attack on the SA-17 missiles was first reported Wednesday by the Associated Press<\/a>. What\u2019s intriguing is that the same area that was hit \u2014 the Jamraya research center in the suburb known as Dummar<\/a>, northwest of Damascus \u2014 is also a center for chemical weapons<\/a> research. This led some Syrian opposition sources to believe that the Israelis<\/a>\u2019 real target was the chemical weapons center.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The real significance of Wednesday\u2019s attack, to me, is that the Israelis have laid down a marker. This is the first time their jets are known to have staged combat operations inside Syria since a 2007 raid on a nuclear reactor, a preemptive strike which to this day Israel officially refuses to confirm. The Israelis have now shown that they are prepared to strike if they see evidence of weapons that might threaten them \u2014 such as the advanced SA-17 missiles or, down the road, chemical weapons that are on the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel just made every country in the area a little bit safer. There is no telling what will happen to Syria’s chemical weapons when the current regime fails. Hopefully the Israeli strike has made them less useful.\"Enhanced<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
