Israeli fighter planes may have managed to escape detection by Syrian radars during their September 6 raid by forcing the detection system to make a mistake, Aviation Week magazine reported.

US defense and industry officials believe Israeli F-15 and F-16 fighter jets may have been equipped with the US-developed "Suter" airborne network attack system, the magazine said on its website.

The technology allows users to invade communications networks, see what enemy sensors see and even take over as systems administrator to manipulate sensors into positions to hide an approaching aircraft, the report said.

On Tuesday, Israeli military radio confirmed for the first time that a raid into Syria had taken place.

US and British media have reported that Israeli planes struck a suspected nuclear site, in which North Korean specialists may have been involved.
