IAF still readying for Syrian response to Sept. airstrike

By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10

Tags: Syria, IAF, Pilots, Israel

Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for December 27, 2007.

Since Israel's airstrike on Syria in September, the Israel Air Force's level of readiness has been heightened due to the belief that a Syrian response is likely to come from the air.

While the Israel Defense Forces's intelligence assessment holds that war is less likely now, IAF pilots train for that crucial moment when they will be called on to act.
