Israel operations will continue: Netanyahu

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has made it clear to the U.S. and Russia that Israel will continue with its operations in Syria. Netanyahu said he told Washington and Moscow on Monday that Israel will act according to its “security needs.”

Israel has largely stayed out of the war but has struck suspected weapon convoys to Hezbollah. His remarks came on the heels of an international agreement laying out principles for post-war Syria.

A U.S.-Russian statement Saturday affirmed an understanding calling for “the reduction and ultimate elimination” of foreign fighters.
