Netanyahu: Israel conducted 600 air strikes

Prime Minister-Defense Minister Binyamin Netanyahu corrected chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gady Eisenkot who told the NYT in an interview that Israel has attacked thousands of targets in Syria without taking responsibility. Netanyahu praised the departing IDF chief of staff at the weekly cabinet session which took leave of Gen. Eisenkot for accomplishments “for buttressing Israeli security in the face of threats.” He said: “The IDF operated under your command achieved an extraordinary level of cooperation with all security branches and performed impressively against Iran establishing itself militarily in in Syria.” The PM then noted: “The IDF conducted hundreds of attacks, struck Hizballah’s precision-guided weapons in Lebanon and dismantled its tunnel weapon.” He also praised the effort to disarm Hamas tunnels and the IDF’s conduct of overt and clandestine operations against lone wolf terror in Judea and Samaria.
