JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel said on Sunday its silence over an air strike in Syria was aimed at easing tensions with Damascus after warnings of retaliation and intense media speculation about the aim of the operation.
Syria angrily denied as US "lies" suggestions that it was receiving nuclear material from North Korea, after foreign media reports that Israel's warplanes could have been targeting a possible joint nuclear project.

"We have to show restraint and it is in our interest to say nothing... This policy has proven itself. The tensions have slightly eased since 12 days ago. The more we bite our tongue, the better it will go,"

'High Alert in Golan' (IsraelNN.com) A high state of alert has been declared in the Golan Heights, according to an initial report carried by news website Omedia Sunday afternoon.
The site says the alert may be the result of fear of an unspecified action by Syria.

Looks like Syria is soon going to respond anyhow. Wonder if they had a buy one get one free deal on nukes from North Korea that they could use.
