The Israeli military confirmed it carried out the 2007 airstrike in Syria that destroyed what was believed to be a nuclear reactor. In a lengthy release, the military revealed that eight F-15 fighter jets carried out the top-secret airstrikes against the facility in the Deir el-Zour region, about 300 miles 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.
