Ministers irked by PM’s decision to go public with Syria strikes — report

Several members of the security cabinet are reportedly frustrated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to publicly announce that Israel was responsible for airstrikes targeting Syria over the weekend.

Anonymous officials tell the Kan public broadcaster that Netanyahu’s decision to break with traditional Israeli policy of not commenting publicly on such strikes was “dangerous” and could unnecessarily provoke both Russia and Syria.
