Liberman: Israel still active in Syria after downing of Russian plane

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says the fallout over the downing of a Russian military plane by Syrian air defenses during an Israeli airstrike last month has not led Israel to cease attacking Iranian targets in Syria.

“The fact you don’t hear about strikes in Syria doesn’t mean it didn’t happen,” he tells Israel Radio.

“The policy has not changed and we won’t allow Iran to turn Syria into a military base,” he adds.
