Syria: Zebras not from there

The Times of Israel tells us about another mysterious explosion in Syria:

Explosions rocked an area thought to house an Iranian facility near Damascus early Monday morning, according to a report in Sky News Arabia. There was no immediate confirmation of the explosion and it was not clear what may have caused the blasts, which came days after another mysterious explosion at a Syrian base.

As of this writing no one is really sure who did it. Was it an Iranian terrorist workplace accident? Some previously unknown rebel group? Speculation is rampant. But why?

There's an important concept in medicine: the horse vs the zebra. It means if you hear hoof beats behind you, just go ahead and assume it's a horse.*

So if something mysteriously blows up in Syria just go ahead and assume it was Mossad. After all, the Jew is clever and we have a T-shirt that says, 'Mossad: It's never an accident.'
