My Way News - Israeli airstrike in Syria aimed at Iran
My Way News reports: "From Israel's perspective, its airstrikes near Damascus were more about Iran than Syria: Tehran's shipment of guided missiles destroyed in the weekend attacks would have posed a potent threat had the weapons reached Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon. While Israel says it has no interest getting involved in the Syrian civil war, it could find itself drawn into the conflict if Syrian leader Bashar Assad's Iranian patrons continue to use his territory to ship arms to Hezbollah. [...] Syria and Iran have hinted at retaliation, though they took no action Monday and the official rhetoric has been relatively mild."
