Israel PM says Syria ceasefire 'obtained by force'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said a ceasefire in Syria was "obtained by force", after Israel struck military targets in Damascus in response to government troops attacking the Druze.

"It is a ceasefire obtained by force. Not by demands, not by pleas -- by force," he said in a statement. Government troops began their pull-out from the Druze heartland province of Sweida in southern Syria on Wednesday evening.
