Former NSC head Brigadier General (res.) Ya'akov Amidror responded to the attack in Syria in a Galei Tzahal interview, saying: "The thing that sticks out is the number of targets. The IDF Spokesman stressed, 'We didn't want to hurt the Syrian army, but it was attacked because they opened fire on us'."
Amidror said: "Those changing the status quo are the Iranians, not us. Israel only attacks because Iran is building."
