.................This time, Israeli Dolphin submarines, built and financed by Germany, launched a missile salvo from the Red Sea which targeted Syria. There probably was another Dolphin stationed elsewhere involved in the attack, though the source did not report its location.
For this reason, the Syrian military and its anti-aircraft defence were caught unawares. They anticipated attacks from Lebanon to the west or possibly from the north. But these missiles came by sea instead of by air, and from a much longer distance and a direction (south) than they anticipated.
