Report: Obama Leaking Intel on Israeli Air Strikes in Syria

(WJD) Arutz Sheva reports Barack Obama is leaking information on Israeli air strikes in Syria because he's unhappy about U.S. policy toward Syria and other Middle East countries.
“This is a decision that could come only from Obama,” a diplomat said. “[T]his reflects his dismay over the Israeli operations, which the president believes could result in a regional war.”

“The leaks will continue because there is a lot of resentment within the U.S. intelligence community over Israeli assessments regarding such countries as Egypt, Iran and Syria,” the diplomat added.

The latest leak attributed to the U.S. intelligence community was about a July 5 Israeli strike on a recent shipment of the P-800 Yakhont coastal defense system, at Latakia.
The latest example of such a leak came last week, when U.S. officials told the New York Times that a June strike on a Syrian arms depot allegedly carried out by Israel was only partially successful.
