Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says Iran’s second-ever missile attack on Israel this week was a “lesson” for Israel, his office says.
The missile attack on Tuesday evening was “a strong response and taught the Zionist entity a lesson,” Assad is quoted as saying as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visits Damascus.
