WASHINGTON - Israel has no plans “at this present moment” to attack Iran and Syria, the country’s chief spokesman told US television on Sunday, although he charged both countries with playing a key role in recent kidnappings of its soldiers. “There is full responsibility on the shoulders of Iran and Syria,” spokesman Isaac Herzog told ABC television’s “This Week” program, without ruling out future attacks against the two countries.
“The responsibility lies on them, and we know it and we will remember it,” Herzog said. “Nonetheless at this present moment we are focused on Lebanon.”

Israel has correctly blamed Iran and Syria of having deep influence over the Hezbollah militants who captured two Israeli soldiers in an attack that sparked Israeli military retaliation. |
