Gantz at Glilot totally mum on Syria strike
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz speaks during a ceremony in Glilot honoring excellent units in the military, in his first public appearance since the airstrike on Sunday in Syria in which 12 people were killed, including the son of Imad Mughniyeh and a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards general.
Even though Israel refuses to comment on the airstrike, some Israeli officials hinted that Israel may be behind the attack. During a 15-minute speech this evening, however, Gantz makes no mention of the attack.
