Iran is "gradually" withdrawing from Syria and
arranging for the closure of its military bases in the country,
following a double attack on Monday night attributed to Israel,
said sources at the Israeli defence ministry.
The sources called it a "significant reduction" of forces aimed at decreasing tension in one of the hottest zones in the region, close to Israel's northern border, which is already dealing with the Lebanese Hezbollah. In addition, Israeli sources said they have also seen a reduction in the number of Shiite militants operating in Syria, even though that is more due to the effect of the "natural progression of the civil war" than to actions attributed to Israel.
"We are determined, more determined than Iran, and I can explain why," said Israeli Defence Minister Naftali Bennett.
"For Iran, Syria is an adventure a thousand miles from home.
For us, it's about our lives," Bennett said.
