Netanyahu: Iran 'crossed a red line' in Syria

In a Hebrew-language video, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is locked in “continuous battle” against Iran’s efforts to threaten Israel from Syria.

“Iran crossed a red line and we reacted accordingly. The IDF conducted a very extensive attack on Iranian targets in Syria. Thanks to sufficient preparations by our forces, both in defense and in offense, the Iranian operation failed. No missile landed in Israeli territory,” he says in the video.

“The Israeli nation is proud of the IDF and trusts it. We are in the midst of a continuous battle and our policy is clear: We will not allow Iran to entrench itself militarily in Syria.”
