As Syria’s two-year-old civil war veered into the potentially atomic arena of Iran’s confrontation with Israel and the West over its nuclear program, people were woken in the Syrian capital by explosions that shook the ground like an earthquake and sent pillars of flame high into the night sky. “Night turned into day,” one man told Reuters from his home at Hameh, near one of the tar- gets, the Jamraya military base. But for all the angry rhetoric in response from Tehran and from the government of Syrian President Bashar Al- Assad, it was unclear whether the second such raid in 48 hours would elicit any greater reaction than an Israeli attack in the same area in January, which was followed by little evident change. The Syrian government accused Israel of effectively helping Al-Qaeda Islamist “terrorists” and said the strikes “open the door to all pos- sibilities”; but Israeli officials said that, as in January, they were calculating Assad would not pick a fight with a well-armed neighbour while facing defeat at home.
