Israel’s attacking policy in Syria has changed and is intensifying, Intelligence Minister Israel Katz admitted in an interview with Army Radio Monday morning.
In response to the launching of a missile by Iranian forces from Syria into Israeli territory, with intention of hitting the northern Golan Heights, IDF fighter planes attacked Syrian military targets and Syrian air defense batteries in the Syria Sunday overnight and early Monday morning.
“This was a clear message to the Iranians.” Katz said in the interview.
As opposed to previous strikes, the IDF took responsibility for the strikes in real time, which prompted the question of what has changed.
“The policy has changed,” Katz admitted. “This is an open confrontation with Iran. When we need to step it up, we’ll step it up,” he continued, adding that Israel was intensifying its attacks against the Iranians terror ambitions in Syria.
“We won’t allow their entrenchment in Syria,” he said.
Katz said the missile launch at Israel was clearly aimed at the Hermon in the northern Golan Heights.
“Whoever attacks us will pay a heavy price,” Katz warned.
