nuclear installation stocked by North Korea, Israeli Arab newspaper

Israel believes that North Korea has been supplying Syria and Iran with
nuclear materials, a Washington defense official told the New York
Times. “The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria
what little they have left,” he said.

The official added that recent Israeli reconnaissance flights over
Syria revealed possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials
estimate might have been supplied with material from North Korea.
Meanwhile on Wednesday the Nazareth-based Israeli Arab newspaper The
Assennara cited anonymous Israeli sources as saying that Israeli jets
"bombed a Syrian-Iranian missile base in northern Syria that was
financed by Iran... It appears that the base was completely destroyed."
According to the Times, American officials confirmed Tuesday that
Israeli jets launched an airstrike inside Syria. Sources said that
Israel struck at least one target in northeastern Syria, but could not
provide more details.
The most likely target was, according to some administration officials,
weapon caches sent by Iran to Hizbullah through Syria.
North Korea commented on the incident Tuesday, calling it a "dangerous
provocation", Chinese News Agency Xinhua reported on Tuesday.
"This is a very dangerous provocation little short of wantonly
violating the sovereignty of Syria and seriously harassing the regional
peace and security," a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
"The Democratic People's Republic of Korea strongly denounces the
above-said intrusion and extends full support and solidarity to the
Syrian people in their just cause to defend the national security and
the regional peace."
