Syria condemns Israeli strikes on military airport in Idlib
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Syria on Tuesday condemned Israeli airstrikes that targeted Abu al-Duhur Military Airport in Idlib Governorate, northwestern Syria, calling them an unjustified act of aggression and a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In a statement, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said the strikes represented a “dangerous escalation” that threatens security and stability in the region.
The ministry said Israel’s attacks on Syria have continued since Dec. 8, 2024, while Damascus has exercised restraint and worked to consolidate stability and avoid escalation.
It accused Israel of seeking to undermine those efforts and push the region toward further tension and instability.
Syria held Israel responsible for the escalation and called on the international community and the UN Security Council to clearly condemn the strikes and take a firm position against what it described as repeated Israeli violations of Syrian sovereignty.
The ministry added that Syria would continue to defend its national rights and interests through legitimate means guaranteed under international law and norms.
