Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu broadly hinted at Israeli responsibility for air attacks against Iranian targets near Damascus, telling Air Force cadets on Wednesday that Israel is acting against Iranian entrenchment in Syria “continuously and with firmness, including during these days,” JPost reported.
“Defending the homeland starts with eradicating major hostile threats,” he said. “We are not willing to accept an Iranian entrenchment in Syria that is directed against us.”
Netanyahu said that Israel would not be deterred from taking the actions it feels necessary to defend itself, adding that US President Donald Trump's decision to remove American troops from Syria “does not change our policies – we will maintain our red lines in Syria and everywhere else.”
