I would suggest instead that you take a look at /etc/network/interfaces
and 'man 5 interfaces'. Specifically, add a "post-down" command or two
or four or script or whatever.

'man bash'. You could always do;
if [ -x /sbin/iptables ]; then
if [ -r /etc/network/ip_tables ]; then
echo -n "Initiating IPtables: "
. /etc/network/ip_tables
echo "done."
else
echo "/etc/network/ip_tables not found."
fi
else
echo "/sbin/iptables not found, please install iptables."
fi
