    Sy Hersh fwiw:

    A Strike in the Dark: What did Israel bomb in Syria? by Seymour M. Hersh. The New Yorker, February 11, 2008.
    That notion was echoed by the ambassador of an Israeli ally who is posted in Tel Aviv. “The truth is not important,” the ambassador told me. “Israel was able to restore its credibility as a deterrent. That is the whole thing. No one will know what the real story is.”

    The video of the USG presentation on the Syrian reactor at al-Kibar, and Syrian-North Korean nuclear cooperation, can be found on the NYT website.

    Default Revealed for the first time: A mission in Syria that never took place

    Via a Twitter alert a rather glowing Israeli article on the intelligence aspects of this action taken now four years ago. The sub-title:
    Israel has never admitted to the 2007 bombing of a Syrian nuclear reactor. This is the inside story of how the facility's existence was established and how it was destroyed
    I was not aware of the follow-on action, so read till the end.
