Barak slams Netanyahu for breaking Israel ambiguity on Syria

Former prime minister Ehud Barak is attacking the country's current leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, for breaking with Israel's ambiguity over its strikes against Iranian targets in Syria.

Barak's comments on Monday came a day after Netanyahu's abrupt confession that Israel had struck hundreds of Iranian and Hezbollah targets in Syria in recent years, including a weapons facility over the weekend.

Barak, a former IDF chief of staff, told the Army Radio that "exposing it was completely unnecessary" and increased the chances of deterioration.
