Foreign Minister of the Assad regime, Faisal Miqdad says, “Israel is playing with fire and it should not bet or miscalculate and expose the situation in the region to further conflict” warning, “[Israel] will pay the price for the raids sooner or later.”
Between 2016-2018 alone, Israel claimed to have struck more 200 Iranian military targets in Syria. In the past five years there have been scores of strikes against Iranian assets and proxies, such as Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah, and Israel is committed to continued countermeasures against Iranian entrenchment in the region.
