Syrian President Bashar al-Assad continues to warn Israel that if the IDF strikes at targets in his country again, the response will be a significant one.
“You made a grave error in judgment” Walla News quotes him as saying, adding “from now one, any Israeli assault will demand a strategic response from us, not a local one.”
During a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs & Defense Committee on Monday, 2 Tammuz 5773, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said “whoever threatens to strike Israel will be struck.”
The prime minister added “We see a new Middle East and it is volatile and explosive. This is especially true along the Syrian border. We are acting responsibly, with good judgment and determination in light of these new realities. First in our thoughts is the safety and security of our citizens. We are ready for any scenario.”

Mr Assad,
If you dont want any IDF donations raining down on you, I would suggest you play by the rules. Quit allowing weapons to come thru your country on the way to the arabs in EY.
