A confidential IAEA report found that the Deir Ezzor site in Syria, struck by Israel in 2007, showed characteristics 'consistent with a nuclear reactor.' The report states that the ousted Assad regime failed to declare nuclear material, facilities, and activities at the site, raising new questions about Syria's historical nuclear ambitions. The findings resurface a long-controversial episode in which Israel bombed the suspected reactor nearly two decades ago without formal acknowledgment at the time. The report adds to scrutiny of Syria's nuclear history following the collapse of the Assad government.
