Cabinet Minister Yoav Galant addressed the thwarted attack on a Galei Tzahal interview last night, saying: "Israel is in a campaign on Syria's land against Iran's will. They want to set up an army in Syria, we will not allow them."

Galant added that he did not rule out the possibility of an Iranian response to the attack. "We took everything into account, and are doing what we can to avoid sliding to there."
