Israel is closely monitoring what happens in Syria, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and will defend its interests.
Speaking at the IDF induction center at Tel Hashomer after rebels capture the city of Aleppo from government forces, Netanyahu also promises to enforce the ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon firmly, “and any violation will immediately meet a strong response from the IDF.”
Netanyahu is joined by Defense Minister Israel Katz, his top political and military aides, and the IDF’s chief tanks officer.
