However, it was “possible” that the convoy was near the large military site when it came under attack, diplomatic sources told Reuters.
Although it has not yet been confirmed whether an airstrike indeed targeted a military site near Damascus, experts believe that after months of constant rebel attacks on Syrian air defense systems an airstrike would make sense.
“It finally makes sense because the rebels or as they like to call themselves the revolutionaries, they have been attacking air defense bases near Damascus for the past seven months,” Dr Ali Mohamad, editor in chief of the Syria Tribune news website told RT. “They’ve managed to attack the S-200 base and over four SM-2 and SM-3 bases. Now this followed by an airstrike from Israel. So it all adds up, it makes sense. It only shows that Israel has a great interest in the instability in Syria and that it is being helped by groups of armed rebels in Syria.”

I guess it would be in Israels interests to keep Syria destabalised.

This might help. I sourced an article yesterday form RT in a post about this. The article has since changed. The part that was omitted is in bold...

Israel helped the rebels take down Sam sites outside Damascus?

I had a conversation at work today and came up with the exact same conclusion with a conspiracy theorist that works on the bench next to me.
Great minds think alike or fools seldom differ ?
True, but the systems that control them are not immune from viruses and worms that can be installed by subversives and infiltrators, and lie dormant, undetected until activated.
In that case they may only be able to prevent a launch or render a system inoperable.

I don't think I mentioned the internet.
There are other types of networks.

Googling it
what's that black van doing outside ?
That false sense of security is perhaps the greatest vulnerability of all.

I'm not so sure,
I think there would still be a jewish state, just somewhere else.
They do predate the bible somewhat, Ironic how Hitler effectively gave them their state isn't it ?
