Syria Accuses of Israel of Trying to Provoke War

HeadlineOct 01, 2007

Syria has accused Israel of making excuses for war by spreading false reports that an alleged Israeli Air Force strike earlier this month targeted a nuclear facility. Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa says Israel bombed an empty area on Sept. 6 after Syrian air defense systems confronted the aircraft.

Farouk al-Sharaa: “The Israelis are making up things to justify an aggression in the future. They are playing on public opinion to mislead it.”
