Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said yesterday, following his country’s bombing of Latakia Port in Syria, that Tel Aviv is fighting off the forces of evil, the Jerusalem Post reported.

“We are fighting off the forces of evil in this region, day and night,” the Jerusalem Post reported Bennett saying. “We will not stop for one second. It happens almost every day.”
