Damascus, August 18 (QNA) – Syria condemned the Israeli airstrikes that targeted the Abu Al Duhur Military Airbase in the Governorate of Idlib.
In its statement on Tuesday, Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the strikes as an unjustified act of aggression, a violation of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in addition to being a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and stability.
Israel’s continuous attacks since December 8, 2024, despite Syria’s exercise of restraint and its work to consolidate stability and avoid escalation, the Ministry said, reveal the attempts to undermine these efforts and push the region toward further tension and instability.
The Syrian foreign ministry held the Israeli entity responsible for the escalation and called on the international community and the United Nations Security Council to clearly condemn the aggression and to take a firm stance against the repeated violations.
Syria will continue to defend its national rights and interests through legitimate means guaranteed by international laws and norms, affirmed the statement. (QNA)
