RAMALLAH - 2 November 2017: Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz spoke Thursday with Army Radio about the events last night in Syria and Israel’s strike on the terror tunnel network near Gaza.
“I am not addressing the reports,” he said. “Israel has acted in the past and will act in the future to prevent the smuggling of weapons from Syria to Hezbollah. [Israel’s] red lines against the armament of Hezbollah and Iran’s foothold in Syria are known.”
According to reports, Israel attacked an arms factory in the rural areas south of the Syrian city of Homs. The attack was carried out by IAF fighter jets. Reports also said that Syria responded to the airstrikes.
Katz also referred to Israel’s explosion earlier this week of a terror tunnel network that infiltrated sovereign Israeli territory from Gaza.
"The military operation that was carried out in the south is exceptional both in location and in expression. The IDF has proven its ability."
