Lieberman: Israel will continue to strike at Syria, despite the C-300
168
Israel will not turn off its operations in Syria, since it cannot refuse them, even despite the delivery of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems C-300 to this country, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on air of Israeli state radio Kan on Wednesday.
According to Lieberman, Israel is “of course not happy with the presence of C-300 in Syria,” but Tel Aviv has no choice but to continue conducting operations in Syria. In this case, according to the Minister of Defense, Israel "protects vital interests" and "cannot make any compromises in the field of security of the Jewish state." At the same time, Lieberman once again laid responsibility for the crash of the Russian reconnaissance aircraft Il-20 on the Syrian government army, stating that "at that moment the Israelis acted carefully and responsibly."
He explained that Israel’s interests are affected in Syria, since Iran wants to turn Syria’s territory into “one large Iranian military base”, therefore when receiving intelligence information about deliveries weapons from Iran to Syria or Lebanon, as well as Hezbollah, the armed forces will strike at the specified coordinates.
He considers that one of his main tasks is to return the working relations with the Russian side to a “normal mode” in order to coordinate their actions and more actively activate the “hot line”.
Earlier it was reported that Russia transferred to Syria 49 units of equipment in the framework of the supply of anti-aircraft missile system (ZRS) C-300.
