Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hails the recently acknowledged IDF commando operation deep in Syria in which 120 members of special forces units raided and destroyed an underground Iranian missile manufacturing plant.
“I salute the heroic fighters on the successful and daring mission deep in Syria,” Netanyahu posts on X.
“This is one of the most important actions to thwart the efforts of the Iranian axis to arm in order to harm us,” Netanyahu says.
The prime minister says the raid highlights Israel’s daring and “determination to act anywhere to defend ourselves.”
