Netanyahu: We Are Destroying the Syrian Military Like the British Destroyed the Vichy Fleet

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel is destroying what is left of the Syrian military just as the British destroyed the fleet of the defeated Vichy regime in France so the Nazis could not use it.

As Breitbart News reported earlier Tuesday, Israel has conducted hundreds of airstrikes in Syria since dictator Bashar al-Assad was ousted by rebels on Sunday. Israel wants to ensure heavy weaponry, and chemical weapons, do not fall into the rebels’ hands. It has destroyed aircraft, ships, missiles, air defenses, and a variety of other heavy weapons.
