Turkey, Russia, Iran express distaste for Israel's attacks on Syria

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan stated that he found Israel's attack on Syria to be 'unacceptable'.  He stated that there was no reason for the attacks and by doing this they have put the ball in Assad's court and that his response is unpredictable. Syrian ally Iran weighed in and warned of a 'crushing attack' in response, and Russia reported that they found the Israeli involvement 'very worrying'. It is apparent that many of the surrounding regions are uneasy after the attacks and are not ruling out the possibility of retaliation from Assad.
