Israel threatens to 'liquidate' Assad if Iran launches attacks from Syria - UPI.com
UPI reports: "An Israeli official said Monday his country would kill Syrian President Bashar al-Assad if Iran used Syrian territory to launch attacks on Israel. [...] Steinitz's remarks come amid Israeli reports that Iran is planning a missile strike against Israel.
Iran has an estimated 70,000 fighters in Syria and likely more than 100,000 missiles and rockets in the region. Israeli officials have expressed concerns that Iran wants revenge for Israeli strikes against Syria's defense."
Comment: Israel has been very clear to all who will listen that they will not tolerate a permanent Iranian presence on their northern border.
