The article clarifies the bombing of a site in Syria by Israel which American and foreign intelligence claimed was an attack on a nuclear reactor being built with the aid of North Korea. The information was regarded as misleading because an American satellite photography of the purported bombed area did not indicate it as a nuclear site. However, the attack was conducted to gather intelligence on a new anti-aircraft radar system being installed by Russia in Syria and Iran.
