.....the soldiers on the ground took something .....
The question is what?
Why not guess the big enchilada? They stole the bomb.
Soil samples are so drab for a mission of this importance.
That is what I would like to think. Confirmed presence with soil samples and observations, retrieved the warhead and got it out via chopper, painted the site for strike, confirmed that items of interest were destroyed, and rendevouz for pickup.
“They stole the bomb.”
That would explain no reaction from the Syrians. Iranians, Russians, or Other Muslims.
If the Israelis stole the BOMB, they have the EVIDENCE.
Very perspicacious. You took the clues and carried the argument through to its logical conclusion. Somewhere out there in the ether William of Occam is smiling down on you...

When I first heard that, the first thing that went through my mind was, "I wonder WHO they took with them?" Can you imagine if they grabbed a non-Syrian from the site?
