Syria's Assad says Iran's attack on Israel taught it 'lesson'

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Saturday that Iran's second-ever missile attack on Israel this week was a "lesson" for Israel, his office said.

The missile attack on Tuesday evening, just days after Israel killed the leader of Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, was "a strong response and taught the Zionist entity a lesson," Assad was quoted as saying as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Damascus.
