Israeli ambassador to Russia summoned over Syria airstrike

Israeli Ambassador to Russia, Gary Koren, was summoned Friday to a meeting with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov following an IAF airstrike in Syria last night.


In a recording released Friday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the airstrike, saying, "Our policy is very consistent. When we identify attempts to transfer advanced weapons to Hezbollah, we have the intelligence and we have the operational ability—we act to prevent it.

"This is what happened and this is what will continue to happen. I can talk about our determination, it is strong and the evidence for that is we are acting. Everyone needs to take this into consideration, everyone."
