And here I thought preemptive strikes were saved for the budding newness of spring or the tactically advantageous summer season.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 — After days of silence from the Israeli government, American officials confirmed Tuesday that Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes inside Syria last week, the first such attack since 2003.
“The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria what little they have left,” the official said. He said it was unclear whether the Israeli strike had produced any evidence that might validate that belief.
Tensions between Israel and Syria have escalated over the past year, since the end of the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon, and both countries remain in a heightened state of alert along their common border.
If there’s one thing America envies about Israel, it’s that they have a tendency to skip diplomacy and go straight for the jugular. In the words of the ever eloquent AC/DC: Who’s got the biggest balls of them all?
