Murky raid heats up Syria-Israel tension

This still sounds like a recon raid to me. Just to verify the existence of the nuclear program. I do wonder what was found! I think the main reason for the, comparative, silence by Syria is that they have something they do not want to show the world. What could it be? I am going with missing Iraqi weapons programs. Anyone think I am wrong?

Murky raid heats up Syria-Israel tension - Yahoo! News: "Syria and Israel last turned their guns on each other in all-out war a quarter century ago, but tensions are sky high after a mysterious Israeli airstrike deep into Syrian territory last week.

America says the target was Iranian missiles, while others have raised questions of possible North Korean links. Israel, however, hasn't even acknowledged anything happened, and Syria has said very little beyond announcing the incursion and complaining to the United Nations.

Still, neither side appears eager for an escalation. Israel put its troops on high alert along the Golan Heights frontier and Syria discreetly called up some air defense reservists, but the crisis has seemed more a war of nerves than preparation for hostilities."
