The British newspaper Sunday Times claimed today that IDF's elite Shaldag unit took part in last week's operation in Syria. Shaldag's men reportedly directed the missiles fired by the IAF fighter planes, using laser-guided technology.
According to publicly available sources, Shaldag is the IAF's elite reconnaissance unit (sayeret) and is considered to be one of the IDF's top units, alongside Sayeret Matkal and the Naval Commandos.
There has been no official confirmation of the raid against Syria in Israel.
