In the video: Chief of Staff Kochavi: Israel is responsible for attacking a weapons convoy on the Syria-Iraq border (Walla system!)
Truck number 8 in the Syrian convoy, which Israel attacked about a month ago on the Syria-Iraq border, may have included air defense components, which were intended to hit the fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force in the future.
Most of the trucks in the convoy had fuel and humanitarian equipment, but they were not the ones that were hit in the attack for which Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi took responsibility today.
Following the incident, criticism was heard among the officials in the security establishment, according to which the IDF fired at a humanitarian convoy and not a weapons convoy in the same incident.
However, despite the intelligence difficulty, the army was able to prove that it fired accurately at this specific truck, which indeed contained weapons, while the rest of the trucks were carrying fuel and humanitarian supplies to the Syrian neighborhoods for the winter.

In that attack, at least 14 people were killed, with most of them fighting in the ranks of pro-Iranian militias - according to reports in Arab media.
After the attack, Israeli military officials said that the truck convoy that was attacked on the Iraq-Syria border was not only carrying fuel, but also weapons and ammunition.
This, contrary to the claim of the regime in Tehran.
Today, the Chief of Staff officially took Israeli responsibility for the attack.
Furthermore, in a review he conducted of all the operational decrees the IDF has been dealing with recently, Kochavi said that the army succeeded in disrupting the Iranian vision for hundreds of missiles in Syria and Lebanon, and that during the year 400 attacks in the West Bank were prevented.
"As a result of long-term activity, the Iranian vision has been disrupted: a vision that was supposed to include hundreds of surface-to-surface and air missiles in Syria, militia forces and Hezbollah forces in the southern Golan Heights," he noted.
