Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is taking necessary security measures in response to the changes in Syria following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad. Israel sees both opportunities and risks in the upheaval, with concerns about rising Islamist rebel forces, including those with Al-Qaeda links.
