Member of Knesset Tzipi Livni has reacted to revelations of last night's attack in Syria by saying, "The goal is to hurt the enemy and prevent a deterioration, so we kept silent 10 years after we bombed the reactor in Syria."

Interviewed by the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation, the chairwoman of the Hatenua' Party added, "The arrogance, the need to go out and tell the guys because of the election campaign - could drag us to a deterioration."
