Israeli Commandos Took Soil Samples at Nuclear Site in Syria
[Jerusalem Post] David Horovitz - Aware that some members of both the American and the Israel intelligence communities were not entirely convinced that Syria was building a nuclear facility in the summer of 2007, Israel in mid-August sent 12 members of the Sayeret Matkal commando unit into Syria in two helicopters to collect soil samples outside the nuclear site. The commandos' mission was almost exposed when a Syrian patrol drove past the landing site where the helicopters were parked. These revelations are contained in a new book by Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman, The Secret War with Iran, that is being published next week in the U.S. Bergman writes, "The results provided clear-cut proof of the joint nuclear project." The following month, the Israel Air Force destroyed the facility.
