"Israel" Admits Striking Syria: Not To Allow Weapons Reach Hizbullah

Local Editor

"Israeli" War Minister Moshe Yaalon on Monday implicitly confirmed the Zionist entity was behind a January strike in Syria.

He further claimed that "Israel" had acted to stop advanced weaponry reaching Hizullah.
Speaking at a news conference with US War Secretary Chuck Hagel, Yaalon said "Israel" would not allow "sophisticated weapons" to fall into the hands of "Hizbullah or other rogue elements."

"When they crossed this red line, we acted," he said, in what was widely understood to refer to the air strike against Syria.
Yaalon also thanked Hagel for arriving in "Israel" so close to the beginning of his term in office and said, "The United States is not only a strategic partner of "Israel", but also our best friend."

During the meeting, Yaalon finalized the sale of an undisclosed number of Bell Boeing V-22 transport helicopters and other US military equipment including Boeing KC-135 inflight refueling planes, advanced radar systems for fighter planes and anti-radiation missiles at a reported cost of $10 billion dollars.

Hagel and Yaalon announced the sale during a joint press conference in Tel Aviv. The US war secretary said the new military equipment was intended to "ensure "Israeli" air superiority" for years to come, and prefaced the sale by saying Sunday that the deal should send a clear message to Iran.
