Israeli soldiers take part in a mobile artillery exercise near the border with Syria in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. AFP/JALAA MAREYJERUSALEM: Israel will keep up its operations in Syria until its arch enemy Iran leaves, Defence Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday after strikes on Iranian-backed militias and their allies killed 14 fighters.
Bennett, speaking to the state-owned Kan 11 television news channel, did not claim Israeli responsibility for the latest overnight strikes on Syria.AdvertisementThe Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said the strikes came minutes after Syrian air defences intercepted Israeli air raids over the north of the country.
"This is our life we are talking about, the life of our children, and if we allowed them to settle in Syria ... in a year we will wake up with 10,000 missiles, 20,000 missiles, that would put us in danger. "It used to be an asset for the Syrians, it helped Assad deal with Daesh, but now it's a burden," he said, referring to IS.On Friday, the Observatory said Israeli raids hit a missile depot in eastern Syria that belonged to Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Lebanese movement that fought a war with Israel in 2006.
