Syrianews Exclusive: Syrian Navy Destroys Israeli Submarine
syrianews ^

Posted on 05/22/2013 9:02:00 PM PDT by traumer

Syrianews managed to confirm the news we received a couple of days ago that a Syrian Navy boat destroyed an Israeli submarine off the Syrian coast at 150 meters depth on 02 May 2013 around 2 – 2:30 am. We were not told the type or size of the submarine but we were confirmed it was destroyed.

In the details we managed to get: the enemy object was detected and orders were given to one of the nearby boats to destroy it which they did with a torpedo (not told which type), then it was monitored sinking until landing on the seabed off the coast. A heavy movement of Syrian Army helicopters was observed over the site where the submarine was destroyed.

It’s not the first time Syrian Navy engage with enemy and hostile objects. At the very beginning of the Syrian crisis, the Syrian Navy spotted a German navy ship on a reconnaissance mission and harassed it away, a German minister then complained of the Syrian Navy acts claiming the ship was not spying, just listening and collecting information!

IF (and a big IF at that) this is true, I suspect the Syrians are getting a lot more help from the Russians than is being acknowledged.

If this did occur, as reported on 5/2/13, that would suggest the Israeli strikes on Syria on 5/3 were more retaliatory than preemptive.

Was it a foot long sandwich or only 11 inches?

Actual photo of the submarine calls into question its Israeli origin. It appears to be Iranian technology.
