Netanyahu: Iran crossed "red line", Israel's action appropriate

JERUSALEM -10 May2018: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel's air strikes against Iranian targets in Syria were "appropriate" because the Islamic Republic had "crossed a red line."

In a brief video address, he said Israel carried out a "very broad attack against Iranian targets in Syria."

"We are in the midst of a protracted battle and our policy is clear: We will not allow Iran to entrench itself militarily in Syria," Netanyahu said.
