Israeli Arms Exports Have Been Used by Iran Against IDF in Syria
(Times of Israel) Ash Obel - Asked about Ukrainian requests for Israeli air defense systems, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told MSNBC on Wednesday that "weapons that we supplied in one battlefield end up in Iranian hands used against us. This has happened time and again." He cited an incident on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights in which the IDF "encountered Israeli-made weapons" in a place "where we are trying to prevent Iran from opening a second Lebanon front, a second terrorist front against us." He may have been alluding to a 2016 incident in which drone technology originally sold to Russia was then sold to the Iranian military, who deployed the Russian-manufactured drone against Israel.
