I do not know what position, if any, Sheikh Ahmad Shlash holds in the Syrian government or leadership, but he is described as "a senior member of the Syrian Parliament" tweeted the other day a statement taking credit for the presumed crash landing of the Beresheet lunar module on the moon.

According to his tweet, as translated by Google Translate and by various news sources, Shlash claimed that Syrian intelligence was behind the crash landing of the Israeli lunar module. He did not say how, but he says that just as promised, the battlefields of confrontation are unlimited and the Syrian intelligence operations will surprise everyone - implying that they were behind the crashing of the lunar module.

Quick thinking, Shlash. I'll give you that. Almost as good and funny as the fake Mossad twitter account.
