Israeli officials were \u201cvery pleased\u201d with US\u00a0airstrikes against Iran-backed militia<\/strong><\/span>s<\/a>\u00a0in eastern Syria Thursday, and were informed by the Biden Administration before the attack,\u00a0Walla<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The strikes were a retaliation for a\u00a0Feb. 15 rocket attack<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in Erbil, Iraq that killed a civilian contractor and injured an American service member. They came as President Joe Biden navigates a\u00a0tense standoff<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0with Iran over a possible return to the nuclear deal struck in 2015 by Barack Obama and abandoned in 2018 by Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israeli officials said that the US gave advance notice about the strikes, as would be routine ahead of such actions, and that the attack would send a strong signal to Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranians didn\u2019t realize that Biden is not Obama, and that in the end they will miscalculate and get hit,\u201d an Israeli official told\u00a0Walla<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The military action \u2014 the first of Biden\u2019s presidency \u2014 killed at least one individual and destroyed facilities near the Syrian border with Iraq used by Iran-backed militias, including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, according to Pentagon press secretary John F. Kirby.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and coalition personnel,\u201d Kirby told reporters Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement Friday, the Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes, saying that the Biden administration \u201cis supposed to stick to international legitimacy, not to the law of the jungle as (did) the previous administration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel\u00a0had told the US<\/a> that it would not compromise on the Iranian nuclear issue to address the Islamic Republic\u2019s malign activities in Syria and elsewhere, and that a return to the 2015 accord would be a mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
