"Israel’s security is paramount and above everything else. There will be no compromise.”

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman threatened on Sunday that Israel “will not hesitate” to destroy Syria’s air defense systems if Israeli fighter jets are ever targeted again.
“You have to understand the context, if we strike there is a real reason for it,” he said while visiting the IDF induction center.
“We have no interest in intervening in the civil war in Syria, either in favor or against [President Bashar] Assad," he said. "We do not want to clash with the Russians. Our main issue is with the transfer of advanced weaponry from Syria to Lebanon and so whenever we detect an attempt to smuggle weapons, we will act to prevent it. We will not compromise on this issue.”
Liberman warned that there will be “no compromise” on the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah and if air-defense systems are used again by the Syrian regime against IAF jets, as they were on Friday, Israel will “destroy them. We will not hesitate. Israel’s security is paramount and above everything else. There will be no compromise.”
Israel’s Arrow anti-aircraft missile defense system was used to intercept a Syrian S-5 missile fired at IAF jets that had already returned to Israeli airspace after carrying out airstrikes against targets in Syria on Friday night.
Liberman also addressed the situation in the South of the country, saying that “we will not invest Israeli taxpayer money to invest in electricity and water for the residents of Gaza while they are investing their money into tunnels.”
"We are not willing to tolerate any provocation," he stressed. "The IDF will respond strongly to every rocket fired from the Gaza Strip.”
Sunday morning saw the activation of incoming rocket sirens in Israeli communities bordering the Gaza Strip. While the army confirmed it was a false alert, at least seven rockets have been fired from the Hamas-run enclave in the last two months.
