ISRAEL stoked the flames of war again today, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to bomb Syrian military targets unless all Iranian forces leave the country.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that he is “no longer immune, his regime is no longer immune. If he fires at us, we will destroy his forces,” Mr Netanyahu ranted in London last night.

Mr Netanyahu suggested at the meeting hosted by the Policy Exchange think tank that Israel would carry out direct military strikes against Damascus.
