Netanyahu says Israel working to prevent foes from acquiring weapons

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that his government is working to prevent its enemies from obtaining sophisticated weaponry — just hours after Israeli missiles purportedly struck in Syria's capital, reports AFP.

The details: Israel had previously acknowledged it has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria to prevent the country from providing advanced weapons to Hezbollah, though it did not confirm or deny its involvement in Saturday's attack near Damascus' airport.
