Israelis 'blew apart Syrian nuclear cache'
F-15Is from IAF's 69th Squadron destroyed a cache of nuclear materials from North Korea during the recent strike in Syria, the Sunday Times says.
The nuclear materials were offloaded from a North Korean freighter three days before the strike at the Syrian port of Tartous, according to The Telegraph.
An Israeli on-line data analyst, Ronen Solomon, found an internet trace for the 1,700-tonne cargo ship, Al Hamed, which showed the vessel started to off-load what Syrian officials categorised as "cement" on Sept 3.
The only comments from Israel so far were from military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin, who boast that Israel had now recovered its "deterrent capability" following the 2006 war against Lebanon's Hezbollah.
