FOX News: Israel tells Iran it will continue Syria operations: 'We won't stop before they leave'

Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday the country will continue to pursue military operations in Syria, as long as Iran remains involved there.

"Iran has nothing to do in Syria,” Bennett said during an interview with the state-owned television channel Kan 11. “We won't stop before they leave Syria."

Bennett’s announcement came just hours after airstrikes hit Iranian-backed fighters in the cities of Al-Quriyah, Al-Salihyah and Al-Mayadin in eastern Syria, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).

Fourteen Iranians and Iranian-back militia were killed in the strikes in eastern Syria, which borders Iran. Israel has not yet claimed responsibility for the strikes.
