How Did Israel Pull Off the Air Strikes?

It's been a month since Israel bombed alledged nuclear sites in Syria. I guess that's long enough to start asking Why Syria's Air Defenses Failed to Detect Israelis "The big mystery of the strike is how did the non-stealthy F-15s and F-16s get through the Syrian air defense radars without being detected?" The current theory seems to be they hacked into Syria's state-of-the-art Russian-built air defense network and feed it wrong data.

Strange... if Israel wanted to keep using the same advantage (hacking the system) why fly non-stealth planes? Unless, the hack was one-off/exposed thing.

I don't know if they have stealth planes.
