The security source, however, did emphasize that the IDF’s level of preparedness was enough to elicit an immediate and firm response, if need be.
According to this morning’s (Wednesday) report by Kol Yisroel, the security source said that Assad is neither interested in involving Israel in an American strike, nor in attacking Israel on his own. He said that Assad understands that involving Israel would be critical for him.
Security and military staff conduct regular evaluations for the scenario of a possible U.S. strike in Syria.
