JERUSALEM, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday his country is determined to prevent "enemy countries" from acquiring precision weapons.
"Israel is constantly working to prevent our enemies from arming themselves with advanced weaponry," he said in a weekly cabinet meeting.
"Our red lines are as sharp as ever and our determination to enforce them is stronger than ever," he added.
His remarks followed an alleged Israeli missile strike on Syrian capital Damascus airport late on Saturday, which reportedly targeted an Iranian airplane carrying weapons for pro-President Bashar al-Assad Iranian forces in Syria.
Israel has not officially commented on the attack or confirmed its involvement.
Israel sees Iran as a major threat and has carried out dozens of airstrikes against Iranian targets and weapon convoys in Syria over the past years.?
