Israel's military admitted for the first time on Wednesday it was responsible for a 2007 air raid against a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor, a strike it was long believed to have carried out. The military revealed that eight F-15 fighter jets carried out the top-secret airstrikes against the facility in the Deir al-Zour region, 450 kilometers northwest of Damascus, destroying a site that had been in development for years and was scheduled to go into operation at the end of that year.
