Netanyahu’s First Comment on Syria Nuclear Reactor Strike

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in his first public comments on Israel’s 2007 bombing of a suspected Syrian atomic reactor, said on Wednesday that Israel was determined to prevent its enemies from obtaining nuclear weapons.

“The Israeli government, the Israel Defense Forces and the Mossad prevented Syria from developing nuclear capability. They are worthy of full praise for this. Israel’s policy was and remains consistent – to prevent our enemies from arming themselves with nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, Israel disclosed for the first time that it had carried out the raid on the suspected nuclear site 11 years ago.
