Syria has condemned in the strongest terms repeated acts of aggression by Israel against the Arab nation, calling upon all peace-loving countries of the world to join forces and stop the regime’s ongoing campaign of aggression against regional nations.
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in a statement released on Monday, said the “Zionist entity insists on perpetration of vicious crimes in the region, and reaffirms its contempt for human values and international law day after day.”
The ministry denounced the Israeli strike on a residential building in the Sayeda Zainab district south of Damascus on Sunday, which killed at least seven civilians and injured 20 others, and caused material damage to private properties.
The Syrian foreign ministry concluded that Damascus reiterates that such an act of aggression would not have happened without the support of certain Western countries for the terrorist Israeli regime.
Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
The Tel Aviv regime rarely comments on its attacks on Syrian territories, which many see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Syrian government’s phenomenal success in confronting and decimating terrorism.
Israel has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Bashar al-Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.
