Israel destroyed a Syrian nuclear reactor in an air raid just weeks before it went online in 2007,
said a US diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks and published on Friday in an Israeli daily.
“On September 6, 2007, Israel destroyed the nuclear reactor built by Syria secretly, apparently
with North Korea’s help,” then US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice wrote in the cable
published in Yediot Aharonot newspaper.

“Our intelligence experts are convinced that the attack targeted by the Israelis is in fact
an atomic reactor of the same type built by North Korea in Yongbyon,” she wrote in
the message dated April 2008. “We have good reason to believe that the reactor
was not built for peaceful purposes,” she said, adding the attack came only weeks
before the reactor was to become operational.
