According to Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon the area that the IDF targeted was under control of Bashar Assad’s regime, Haaretz reports. “The IDF holds the Syrian government accountable for all attacks emanating from its land, and will operate by any means necessary to defend Israeli civilians. Such blatant breaches of Israeli sovereignty will not be tolerated,” the IDF statement said, as cited by Haaretz. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
