MK Motti Yogev (Jewish Home), a member of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, responded to the reports about an attack in Syria and said, "Iran's leaders continue to be the root of the instability and the perpetrators of terrorism against Israel and the entire world."

"Israel has no interest in Syria or Iran, but it will not be able to accept the increasing threat to its citizens and will continue to take all measures to protect Israeli citizens," Yogev said on Twitter.
