Israel lifts veil of silence over Syria strike
Israel's army radio has confirmed that IAF fighters bombed a military target deep inside Syrian territory on Sept. 6.
However nothing much else was announced including key details like the target of the raid, which forces participated in the mission and whether the operation was successful.
The censorship was lifted after Syria's president, Bashar Assad, confirmed the air strike in a televised interview with BBC.
Ynet news added that former Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu's admission on TV also lead to the lifting of censorship.
