After Syria strike, Netanyahu warns enemies against threatening Israel

Following a deadly airstrike on a Syrian military base attributed to Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will actively deal with any threats to its security.

“We have one clear and simple rule and we seek to express it constantly: If someone tries to attack you – rise up and attack him,” Netanyahu says at a ceremony in Sderot.

He also says: “Security in the present is a necessary condition for security in the future and what we have here today is a powerful expression for our future security.”

Netanyahu doesn’t directly address the strike earlier today in Syria or Israel’s alleged involvement.
