Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday became the first Israeli official to confirm reports of an Israel Air Force operation in Syria about two weeks ago.

In an interview with Channel 1, Netanyahu said that he had been partner to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s decision to carry out an operation in Syria. Netanyahu said he had not only supported the prime minister’s decision but personally praised him for the initiative.

“When the prime minister does things that I see as important and necessary, whenever the government does thing for the security of Israel, I give my support,” said Netanyahu.

“I was partner, I must say, to this issue from the first moment and I gave my support,” he added.

Israeli officials have remained tight-lipped about the whole affair, which has resulted in a slew of speculations by foreign publications.

According to a report in this week’s London-based Sunday Times, an Israeli source said the September 6 strike came in the wake of intelligence reports suggesting Syria was been planning a “devastating surprise” for Israel. haaretz
