Syria has issued a strong condemnation of an Israeli drone strike targeting a civilian vehicle in the western countryside of Damascus. The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates described the attack, which occurred on the road between Mazraat Beit Jinn and Beit Jinn, as a "flagrant violation" of international law and Syrian sovereignty.
The Syrian Arab Republic fully holds the Israeli occupation responsible for the repercussions of these repeated attacks.
The ministry stated that the attack, which left several civilians injured, is part of a pattern of repeated Israeli assaults on Syrian territory. Syria holds the "Israeli occupation" fully accountable for the repercussions of these ongoing attacks, warning that they will only escalate tensions and instability in the region while threatening civilian safety.
Damasco has appealed to the international community and the United Nations Security Council to fulfill their "legal and political responsibilities." The Syrian government is calling for decisive action to halt these attacks and put an end to the persistent violations of its sovereign borders.
The continuity of these actions will only increase tension and instability in the region and threaten the safety of the civilian population.
This incident follows a separate report from the Israeli military on Saturday, which claimed to have conducted a strike in southern Syria against a "terrorist" who had allegedly infiltrated territory controlled by Israeli forces. The Syrian government's statement, however, focuses on the civilian impact and the breach of its national integrity.
The international community and the United Nations Security Council must assume their legal and political responsibilities and work to stop these attacks and put an end to the repeated violations of Syrian sovereignty.
