Assad: We must first deal with Israel’s proxies

Syrian President Bashar Assad commented Monday: ”The real tools that Israel is using, which are more important than the recent attacks, are the terrorists in Syria." This was his first response to Israel’s retaliatory strikes against Syrian forces after an Iranian-sponsored rocket attack on Israel’s Galilee and Golan last Thursday. Assad went on to say: "If we want to deal with Israel, we must first deal with its proxies inside Syria."
