NETANYAHU: ISRAEL WILL HIT IRANIAN AND SYRIAN TARGETS AS NEEDED

The prime minister's comments come after a dramatic day where Iran drone penetrated Israeli airspace, IAF raided enemy positions in Syria and an Israeli F-16I plane was downed.
Israel will continue to defend itself resolutely against infringements on its sovereignty and Iran’s efforts to entrench itself militarily in Syria, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday night after the most intensive IAF bombing of positions in Syria since the First Lebanon War in 1982.

At the end of a long day that began before dawn when Israel identified and quickly downed an Iranian drone that penetrated its airspace, and which included the apparent downing of an Israel Air Force F16I jet that crashed in Israel after its two crew members evacuated, Netanyahu said Israel will continue to hit Iranian and Syrian targets as is necessary.

The crew members landed in Israel, where one of them is in serious condition, and the other was only lightly wounded.

There has been speculation that Russian support for Iran and Syria would eventually cause them to come to loggerheads with Trump.

I thought he was going to jail? How he gonna get his war on from there? If that is possible, do not share that intelligence with Trump.

Pretty please.
