Israel Suggests Responsibility for Syrian Airstrikes
Confirming without actually confirming
Israel's defense minister indicated Sunday that his country was behind an airstrike on Syria that U.S. officials said targeted anti-aircraft weapons bound for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
It was the first public comment by an Israeli government official on the Wednesday strike.
"I cannot add anything to what you have read in the newspapers about what happened in Syria several days ago," Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in Germany at a security conference with top diplomats and defense officials from around the world.
