Human nature thinks that anybody who hurts you does so deliberately. And that somehow Israelis never f--k up. Ain't necessarily so. In either case.

Nadine.. one or two bombs, I could see being a mistake.

Two hours of concerted air and naval attacks?

That's something else entirely.

Especially when a RC-119 reconaissance plane was observed surveilling them several hours before the attack. It's crazy to think that they weren't aware of a US (or any other country's) intelligence ships in the area.

But this discussion is not getting us anywhere.. I don't blame the Israeli people for the attack. And it doesn't affect my view that the Arabs are primarily responsible for the continued state of hostilities in the region.

I'm just acknowleging that Israel will do whatever is required, even versus a superpower, to protect itself, which the Syrian military operation was aimed at doing.
