Syria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has
warned Israel and its allies against their aggressive actions, which are
driving the region towards a general escalation and instability.
According to the ministry, Israeli occupation forces have
attacked Homs, Damascus, and the surrounding countryside over the course of the
last four days, killing one civilian and injuring a number of others in
addition to causing property damage.
The ministry charged that the Israeli government was
acting in flagrant violation of international law and the UN charter by
exporting crises and turning its back on domestic issues to commit crimes and
aggressions abroad, much like its patrons in Washington and other Western
capitals.
Recent Israeli airstrikes in Syria have killed several
civilians as well as two Iranian military advisers, wrecked residential areas
and government buildings, and temporarily shut down the two biggest airports in
the nation. They have also stoked concerns of a regional escalation.
Attacks have increased since Iran and Saudi Arabia
reconciled last month. Also, it occurs in the midst of a serious domestic
upheaval in the occupied Palestinian territory caused by Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet intention to reform the court.
In recent years, Israel has launched hundreds of strikes
on government-controlled areas of Syria, although it rarely admits them. Syrian
authorities have blamed Israel for 10 attacks on Syrian land since the year
2023, including four airstrikes in the past five days as of Tuesday.
With the election of Israel's most right-wing government
on January 2, an airstrike that temporarily shut down the Damascus airport
marked the beginning of an uptick in strikes against Syria.
In recent weeks, strikes in Syria that have been ascribed
to Israel have also impacted the airports in Aleppo and Damascus, which
hastened the delivery of supplies following the terrible earthquake that
devastated Syria and Turkey on February 6.
At least five individuals were killed in the first known
Israeli airstrikes against residential areas in Syria's capital, Damascus, on
February 19.
