White House condemns Iran rocket attacks against Israel
"This was an operation we prepared for, and were not surprised by", said Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a spokesman for the Israeli military.
Over the past few years, Israel has frequently attacked military targets in Syria in what is considered as an attempt to prop up terrorist groups that have been suffering heavy defeats against Syrian government forces.
In February, Israel shot down what it said was an armed Iranian drone that entered Israeli airspace. Israel's response was massive. Informal commercial links remain in place, however.
The White House on May 10 repeated its demand that Iran stop its "reckless actions" against USA allies Israel and Saudi Arabia. An airstrike on a military base in Syria last month, which Iran and Russian Federation blamed on Israel, killed seven Iranians. On Friday, may 11, Lieberman advised Assad to "expel" the militants of the revolutionary guards from Syria.
Danny Danon said in letters to the council and UN chief Antonio Guterres that "the worldwide community must not stand idly by while a tyrannical regime attacks a sovereign nation and continues to threaten the very existence of a member-state of the United Nations". "Israel also fired more than 10 tactical ground-to-ground missiles", the ministry said in a statement, quoted by Interfax news agency.
It announces another succesful test in 2000, alarming Israel which fears its enemy is developing a nuclear capacity.
That move prompted Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to say that Mr Trump's body "will be food for worms".
Meanwhile, the Jewish state next week must contend with numerous other potential threats, some of which can be easily fueled by Iran.

But the most stinging result of America's decision to pull out of the Iran deal could be the birth of a new war in the Middle East. Iran, which would be under no restrictions to not follow a nuclear program, has vowed to scale up its preparations of uranium enrichment if the deal collapses.
The dramatic intervention came amid heightened tensions in the region only a day after President Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.
Iran's strong support for the government of President Bashar al-Assad - along with Russian air power - ensured his survival and now Tehran is seeking to cash in on the strategic benefits.
The Syrian army said the strikes killed three people, destroyed a radar station and weapons depot, and damaged a number of air force battalion sites.
On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released satellite photos showing the devastation its warplanes wreaked on Iranian bases during Wednesday night's bombing campaign that marked the largest IDF action inside Syria since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
Washington's influence in the region is waning.
Former Mideast negotiator Dennis Ross, speaking on NPR, said Trump's decision to abrogate the terms of the nuclear deal is likely spurring Iran to show the United States that it will pay a price.
Saudi Arabia, a long-time foe of Israel, is the main religious and regional rival of Iran, with the two powerhouses also on opposing sides of conflicts in Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon.
