Israel PM says will not allow ‘Iranian aggression’ after Syria strikes

Ramon Airport (Israel) (AFP) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday Israel would not allow “Iranian aggression”, after its military struck what it said were Iranian targets in Syria in response to missile fire.

“Yesterday evening, the air force struck a strong blow against Iranian targets in Syria after Iran fired a missile from there toward Israel,” Netanyahu said at an inauguration ceremony for a new airport in southern Israel.

“We do not allow such acts of aggression to pass by. We are acting against Iran and against the Syrian forces who are tools of Iranian aggression.”
