Foreign Ministry chief: Israel hit Hezbollah-bound Syrian arms
Foreign Ministry Director Dore Gold tells a London-based Saudi newspaper that Israel struck a Syrian arms shipment of Russian-made missiles bound for Hezbollah, the first admission of its kind by an Israeli official on record.
“We won’t allow such things,” he tells Elaph. “Israel won’t allow damage to its sovereignty and won’t allow advanced Russian anti-aircraft weapons, SA-22 missiles, which can threaten our aerial supremacy, to be transferred to Lebanon.”
Gold didn’t specify a particular incident when Israel struck a Syrian arms shipment.
