Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Iran has been acting against Israel for years, and defended any operations launched by Tel-Aviv against Tehran. 'For years Iran has been working against us directly and through its proxies, and therefore Israel is working against Iran and its proxies, both defensively and offensively,' Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting. Israel has raised the alert at its embassies worldwide amid fears Iran could launch a retaliatory attack after a suspected IDF strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). Two IRGC generals were among the dead in the Syrian capital following Monday's strike, prompting the Islamic Republic to swear revenge. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement, but it is widely assumed the IDF was behind the attack. #israel #iran Daily Mail Homepage: Daily Mail Facebook:
