JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel is operating all over the Middle East to exact a price from those who threaten it, the country’s defence minister said on Tuesday, though he did not refer directly to a suspected Israeli strike against a group of Iranian officers in Damascus.
“We are currently in a multi-front war – we see evidence of this every day, including over the last few days,” Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told a parliamentary committee, according to a statement from his office.
“We operate everywhere, every day, in order to prevent our enemies from gaining strength and in order to make it clear to anyone who threatens us – all over the Middle East – that the price for such action will be a big one.”
