Defense Minister of Israel Avigdor Lieberman warned on April 5 that if Syria uses Russian-made air defense missiles against Israel, the IDF will strike back. “What’s important to us is that the defensive weapons the Russians are giving Syria won’t be used against us,” Lieberman told Ynet. “If they’re used against us, we’ll act against them.”
