RUSSIA DEMANDS "EXPLANATION" FOR ISRAEL'S SYRIA STRIKES

The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed tonight (Friday) that the Israeli Ambassador to Russia was summoned for a clarification meeting in Moscow following the Israeli attack in Syria.


Shortly before, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the incident in which missiles were fired against an Israeli Air Force aircraft during an attack in Syria. "We are working to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah," Netanyahu explained.

"Our policy is consistent," said Netanyahu. "When we identify attempts to transfer advanced weapons to Hezbollah, and we have the intelligence and operational feasibility, we will act to prevent."

Meanwhile, the Syrian Foreign Ministry sent two letters to the UN Secretary-General and the Director of the UN Security Council about what they define as “Israeli aggression against the Syrian Arab Republic, in outrageous defiance of international law, UN resolutions, the sovereignty of Syria and the ban on the attacking her lands."
