Russia’s foreign ministry on Monday called Israeli-blamed strikes on Syria unacceptable and demanded an unconditional cessation of the attacks.
- On Saturday, Syria accused Israel of launching an “air aggression” from the Mediterranean, west of Lebanon’s second-largest city Tripoli, with several missiles targeting an area to the south of Tartus.
Israel’s military declined to comment on the strikes, which would be the first since Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid took office as the interim premier ahead of a November 1 election.
“We strongly condemn such irresponsible actions that violate the sovereignty of Syria and the basic norms of international law, and we demand their unconditional cessation,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
