JERUSALEM - Israel’s prime minister defended a U.S. decision to launch an air strike on Friday that killed powerful Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani and the Israeli military was put on high alert, after Iran threatened revenge.
“Just as Israel has the right of self-defense, the United States has exactly the same right,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement issued by his office. Israel has long regarded Soleimani as a major threat. The military said in August it had foiled a Quds Force attack, masterminded by Soleimani that involved multiple drones operating from Syria.
Israel is concerned about retaliation from Iran’s proxies and allies in the region, such as Hezbollah and Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. “There are no further instructions to the residents of the Golan Heights area and routine activities continue as normal,” Adraee added.
