Way to go IAF! Undetected, on target, and unscathed. Who (besides Tom
Cooper) actually believes Israel doesn't have the will, ability, and
guts to attack any target in the region that threatens the security of
the Jewish State?
This raid, although small, definately woke Syria up yesterday to the
fact that state sponsored terrorism won't be ignored by Israel. Iran
should take notes as they're next on the list...

The Israeli aircraft did not penetrate Syrian airspace. The aircraft
launched stand-off weapons from Lebanese airspace. It is believed that
Popeye's were used in this strike.

Are you sure? IAF jets flew over Assad's summer palace in Latakia in
August. They flew so low they broke out many of the palace windows. So
why would the Israelis need a stand-off weapon when it is clear their
AF can go anywhere in the region, anytime?

It doesn't make sense and I have not read any use of the weapon you
mention in the Jerusalem Post.

Just a theory of mine, but has proved to have been wrong. The Israeli's flew
out over the Med and back down through the north of Lebanon. The egress was
also back through Lebanon to the Med.

From news snippets:

"A senior Israeli military official said one person had apparently been
injured in the strike, in which one or two Israeli F-16 fighter jets dropped
two bombs, each at least 1,100 pounds, destroying two buildings at the camp,
called Ein Saheb."

"The council was convened at the request of Syria's Ambassador to the UN,
Fayssal Mekdad, who asked the council to discuss the "violations of Syrian
and Lebanese airspace committed by the Israeli air force"
