AVOIDING NEXT IRANIAN ATTACK ON ISRAEL: A senior official in Israel’s defense establishment warned on Sunday 11 Feb. 2018 that Iran is determined to entrench themselves in Syria and will continue to try to attack Israel. Israel's responses to these further violations, he added, will be even more forceful. “As far as we are concerned, the weekend event is over, but the next incident is only a matter of time,” he said, warning that Israel does not rule out that the Islamic Republic will continue to try to strike Israel. On Saturday, 10 Feb. 2018 an Iranian drone was intercepted by an Israel Air Force Apache helicopter near the town of Beit She’an. In response, Israeli aircraft targeted the drone’s launch site deep inside Syria. Two Israeli pilots were wounded after ejecting from their F-16 which crashed down in Israeli territory. “We do not know what the mission of the Iranian drone was, it is their most advanced drone and they did not expect our radar to detect its penetration into our territory,” the senior official stated. “Our aerial freedom will not be harmed. We will continue to destroy targets.” (J.Post)
USA SUPPORTS ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST SYRIAN, IRANIAN PROVOCATIONS: The White House issued a statement on Sunday 11 Feb. 2018 declaring USA support for Israeli military reprisals against Syria over the weekend, and calling on Iran to “cease provocative actions” against the Jewish state. “Israel is a staunch ally of the United States, and we support its right to defend itself from the Iranian-backed Syrian and militia forces in southern Syria,” the White House said. The USA Defense Department issued a similar statement, calling Israel “our closest security partner in the region,” and supporting “Israel’s inherent right to defend itself against threats to its territory and its people.” At approximately 4:25 a.m. on Saturday 10 Feb. 2018, an Israeli Apache attack helicopter shot down an Iranian drone controlled from Syria. Israel called the infiltration a “severe and irregular violation of Israeli sovereignty” and launched an airstrike on Syrian anti-aircraft missile targets, including the drone launch site.
