Israel will destroy Syria’s antiaircraft system if it fires on IAF again: minister

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Sunday morning that if Syria's antiaircraft weapons are fired at IAF aircraft again, as they were late last week, then the system will be destroyed "without hesitating twice".
