Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed holding a phone call with US President-elect Donald Trump, during which he reaffirmed his country's 'determination' to continue acting against Iran and its armed proxies, CNN reported.Netanyahu said in the video message that he had a "very friendly, very warm, and very important conversation" on Saturday and told about the need for Israel to "complete its victory. We spoke about the need to complete Israel's victory, and we also spoke at length about the efforts we are making to free our hostages," he said as quoted by CNN.Netanyahu said that Israel continues to "work tirelessly to bring our hostages home, both the living and the dead. I say to Hezbollah and Iran in no uncertain terms - to prevent you from harming us, we will continue to act against you as much as necessary, in every arena and at all times," as per Times of Israel.Since the rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham overthrew the over two-decades-long Bashar al-Assad regime on December 8, Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes across Syria and carried out a land incursion that stretches past the occupied Golan Heights into a previously demilitarized buffer zone, as reported by The Washington Post.The Israeli army swiftly took control of the abandoned army positions, and air attacks have decimated most of Syria's military capabilities.Netanyahu reiterated that recent airstrikes against Syrian military sites were carried out to ensure that the weapons would not be used against Israel in the future. "Netanyahu has said that Israel has "no intention of interfering" in Syria's internal affairs, but also warned to take "necessary" measures if the current regime allows Iran to re-establish itself in Syria or transfers weapons to Hezbollah
