Israeli special forces stole ＂nuclear materials＂ in Syrian military uniforms.
On September 6, the Israeli air force raided the "nuclear material warehouse" in Syria by lightning. On September 23rd, British Sunday Times, American Newsweek and other media further revealed the inside story of the bombing of Syria’s "nuclear material warehouse" by the Israeli air force: Israeli special forces dressed as Syrian officers and soldiers sneaked into the mysterious underground warehouse and stole "nuclear material", thus enabling Israel to successfully persuade US President Bush to agree to dispatch Israeli air force to bomb Syria’s "nuclear material warehouse".
1. Israel is eyeing the "nuclear project"
According to sources in Washington and Israel, Israel has been eyeing the "Agricultural Research Center of the Euphrates River" in northern Syria for several months.
This summer, Israeli intelligence agencies briefed US President Bush that they had found foreign "experts" and "nuclear-related materials" in Syria. In an intelligence document sent to President Bush, the Israeli intelligence agency indicated that there has been some time for weapons cooperation between a country in East Asia and Syria.
In December 2006, Al Seyassah, a Kuwaiti newspaper, quoted European intelligence sources in Brussels, Belgium as saying that Syria was implementing "advanced nuclear projects" in its northeastern provinces.
On this basis, the Israeli side decided that its neighbors must not have any chance to acquire nuclear weapons. Once a neighboring country is found to have nuclear weapons, it will be completely destroyed, just like bombing the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981.
However, President Bush was very dissatisfied with the information sent by Israel. He demanded that Israel must have "hard evidence" before it started, and should not use force against other countries "by hearsay".
The burden of finding "hard evidence" fell on the shoulders of Israeli Defense Minister Barak, who just took office on June 18th this year.
2. Commandos stole Syria’s "nuclear-related ironclad evidence"
Barack, who returned to the political arena after leaving politics to do business and make a fortune, is a man who dares to think and do what he wants. An insider told the British Sunday Times: "Only Barak can give Israeli Prime Minister Olmert the confidence to make up his mind to carry out high-risk actions!"
This has something to do with Barack’s experience. He is one of Israel’s outstanding soldiers and a legend of Israel’s special forces. His motto is "Only the brave can win". He himself once disguised himself as an Arab woman and raided the headquarters of Fatah in Palestine, and later participated in the raid on the nuclear reactor in Baghdad, Iraq. It is "appropriate" for him to collect the hard evidence of Syria’s nuclear involvement.
Barak is the commander of the reconnaissance team of the General Staff of Israel’s most mysterious commando team. After he got Olmert’s permission to "act", he immediately handed over the task to the reconnaissance team of the General Staff.
According to the Sunday Times and the Israeli newspaper Izvestia, the search team of the General Staff immediately selected commandos who spoke fluent Arabic and knew the local situation in Syria, and sneaked into Syria. They wore uniforms of the Syrian army, held special passes of the Syrian army, and with the cooperation of Syrian informants, they sneaked into the underground warehouse of the Euphrates River Agricultural Research Center, successfully stole the "nuclear material samples" in the warehouse, and returned to Israel safely without anyone knowing.
The details of this bold action need to be further understood. However, an intriguing scene was broadcast by Israeli television a few days ago: Barak shook hands with the commanders of the commando team and said, "Thank you very much for your great contribution."
3. Bush gave the Israeli Air Force a "green light"
The stolen samples of nuclear materials were immediately handed over to Israeli scientists for testing. According to an insider, scientists soon confirmed that these "nuclear materials" obtained by the commandos really "originated from a country in East Asia". After this result was sent to the White House, President Bush immediately lit up the "green light" of "action".
After the Israeli air force lightning raided the "nuclear material warehouse" in Syria, the British "Sunday Times" said that "many foreign experts" may have been killed in this bombing operation, because the missile technicians and military scientists of the country have been working in the attacked area in Syria for some time.
After the raid, Israel kept its mouth shut, but Netanyahu, the former prime minister and current leader of Likud Group, could not help but confirm the raid and revealed that he supported the air raid on Syria’s "nuclear material warehouse". Olmert, the current prime minister, also specifically consulted him for this. "I was his partner from the beginning."
Since Syria has threatened to retaliate against Israel, Israel is now in a state of high tension and the National Defence Force is on the highest alert. An Israeli intelligence expert said: "Syria has retaliated against similar things before, but they will choose the place, time and target."

Extraordinary Israeli special forces
In this Israeli operation against Syria, two special forces played an unusual role: the reconnaissance team of the General Staff directly under the Israel Defense Forces and the "Kingfisher" commando of the Israel Air Force.
Investigation and search team of general staff
In this operation, the investigation team of the General Staff sneaked into Syria and stole "nuclear materials".
Sayer et Matkal (Unit 767) of the General Staff is the most important intelligence-gathering special force of the IDF, and it is also recognized as the Israeli special force with the strongest combat capability.
This unit is mainly a battlefield intelligence gathering unit, which will go to the enemy’s rear in wartime to obtain strategically important information. Like most Israeli special forces, the reconnaissance and search team of the General Staff is also a long-range reconnaissance and patrol unit with superb anti-terrorism ability, which can carry out hostage rescue operations.
The training system of the reconnaissance team of the General Staff Department is as long as 20 months: 4 months of basic infantry training; Two months of advanced infantry training; Three weeks of skydiving training; Five weeks’ training in the Defence Force Anti-terrorism School; Anti-terrorism training within the army; Long-range reconnaissance patrol combat training, especially directional training, which is extremely important for military operations.
"kingfisher" commando
In this operation, the "Kingfisher" commandos seized the favorable terrain before the Israeli air force fighters arrived, and indicated the bombing target for the air force fighters with a laser instrument.
Sayer et Shaldag (Unit 5101) is one of the best special forces of the Israeli Air Force, and its combat capability is second only to that of the reconnaissance team of the General Staff. The "Kingfisher" commandos are called "special open space instruction teams" within the IDF special forces, and are often sent by the IDF to perform confidential tasks throughout the Middle East.
Established in 1974, the Ministry underwent an important reorganization in the mid-1990s, and became the main airlift of attack force by the IDF. The training system of "Kingfisher" commandos lasted for 22 months.
The "Kingfisher" commandos have participated in almost all the important Israeli special operations since the 1980s, the most famous of which was to provide assistance for the "Ausilla" operation that attacked the Iraqi nuclear reactor on July 6, 1981. Before the attack, a team of "Kingfisher" went deep into Iraq on a CH-53 helicopter, waiting for the arrival of eight Israeli Air Force F-16 fighters. After the fighter plane arrived, the team helped the pilot aim at the reactor and evaluate the bombing effect. The bomb dropped by the F-16 destroyed the nuclear reactor and set back Iraq’s nuclear program for several years.
During the "Peace Operation in Galilee" in 1982, with the assistance of the "Kingfisher" commando, the Israeli Air Force destroyed most of the air defense weapon positions and air defense missile bases in Lebanon within a few hours. In the battle for air superiority, the Israeli air force shot down more than 80 Syrian planes in the melee, but it was unscathed.
However, on June 10, 1982, a "Kingfisher" detachment participated in a notorious operation. In the battle, General Adam was killed by the PLO guerrillas. General Adam is the highest rank officer in Israel who has been killed since 1982. At that time, the special forces Gorani and the "Kingfisher" both took part in the battle. General Adam and his assistant joined the "Kingfisher" team on a reconnaissance mission. The team was ambushed by the enemy, and General Adam and his assistant were killed. This result shamed the "kingfisher" for several years.
"Kingfisher" and several IDF elite force also participated in the "operation desert storm" in 1991. In that operation, they used unmarked jeeps equipped with anti-tank missiles to search for Scud missiles in Iraq, and successfully tracked and destroyed several mobile Scud missile launchers and several Iraqi army headquarters.
