As Gordon Chang points out on these pages, there is ongoing speculation on what Israeli aircraft targeted in the early hours of September 6, when they entered Syrian air space, flew all the way to the Syrian-Iraqi-Turkish border, and dropped a load of heavy bombs (perhaps aided by special ground forces who were safely helicoptered in and out of the area). Whether it’s a nuclear facility run jointly by Iran and North Korea, or a missile base, or an arms shipment for Hizballah, or a Russian-made modern air defense system, one thing is clear from all the reports: the Syrian military still cannot tell the difference between an Israeli F-15 and a seagull.
