“We want relations with the new regime in Syria,” Netanyahu mentioned in a are living deal with. “But if this regime allows Iran to return to establishing itself in Syria or allows the transfer of Iranian weapons or any other weapons to Hezbollah or [if it] attack[s] us, we will respond strongly. And we will exact a heavy price.
“What came about to the former regime will even occur to this regime.”

It remains unclear who exactly will take over the leadership of Syria or what that government will look like now that rebel forces control Damascus.
Overnight on Monday, Israel launched massive strikes against Syrian military targets, including two Syrian naval sites, the Al-Bayda port and the Latakia port, where 15 Syrian naval vessels were docked, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Tuesday afternoon.
“Manned airplane flew loads of hours over Syrian airspace, engaging in over 350 aerial moves at the side of fighter jets,” the IDF reported.
Israel said a “extensive area of objectives had been struck” including anti-aircraft batteries, Syrian Air Force airfields and dozens of weapons depot sites in Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia and Palmyr that housed sophisticated weaponry like ballistic and cruise missiles, UAVs, fighter jets, attack helicopters and tanks.

Netanyahu appeared to claim the strikes were similar to actions taken by Britain during World War II when it bombed a French fleet at the Algerian port of Mers-el-Kébir to prevent the ships from falling into the hands of the Nazis.

It is unclear if any casualties were inflicted in Israel’s overnight strikes, though the United Nations on Tuesday condemned the attacks as well as Israel’s military encroachment beyond the Golan Heights and into a demilitarized buffer zone.
“We’re proceeding to peer Israeli actions and bombardments into Syrian space. This must ban,” U.N. Particular Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen mentioned, calling Israel’s developments “troubling.”
“That is extraordinarily notable,” he added. “We want to see a ban to the Israeli assaults, and we want to build certain that the struggle within the northeast stops. And we want to build certain that there are not any conflicts creating between the other armed teams.”
Israel received some international criticism after it sent a military contingent this week beyond the Golan Heights, a contested area that Jerusalem seized in 1967 and which is still internationally recognized as a part of Syria, though the U.S. recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the area.

“We’re in opposition to a majority of these assaults. I feel this can be a turning level for Syria. It must no longer be impaired via its neighbors to encroach at the space of Syria,” U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric reportedly said Tuesday.
In his address, Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel’s position and said, “We haven’t any goal of interfering within the inner affairs of Syria, however we obviously have the goal of doing what’s vital to safeguard our safety.”
