WWFC Asia's video: Syrian War Updates 11th May 2018

Israeli raids against alleged Iranian targets inside Syria have raised fears of a major confrontation in the Middle East. Amid international calls for restraint and calm, Israeli officials said Thursday's attacks were not aimed at opening a new front in Syria's war, but analysts say much will depend on Iran's response. The Israeli military has said that its warplanes targeted intelligence, logistics, storage and vehicles in response to rocket fire targeting its forces in the occupied Golan Heights, which it blames on Iran. Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's defence minister, said the Israeli assault struck "almost all of the Iranian infrastructure in Syria", and added that Israel will desist from launching any further attacks. "I hope we finished this chapter and everyone got the message," he said, but warned that "if it rains on us [Israel], it will pour on them [Iran]." Iran has not commented on the rocket fire.
