The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounces strikes, calls the CSNU to act

The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has published a statement after strikes, denouncing them as a “blatant violation of international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter”.

Attacks are a direct threat to the stability of Syria and the region, and are part of an “aggressive climbing series” by Israel against Syria, the ministry said.

The ministry also called the international community, including the United Nations Security Council, to “end these repeated attacks”.

The FDI has carried out air strikes in Syria in recent months, especially during the clashes between the tribes of Syrians and Bedouins in Sweida in July.

The FDI also carried out several strikes and incursions at the end of August, according to Damascus.

This also included TSAhal soldiers by recalling four helicopters to a military post near Kiswa, south of Damascus, according to a Syrian military source at the time.

These soldiers carried out operations against the weapons that Iran provided to the Assad regime, now stored, which were stored in the region.

It is a story in development.
