Saudi Arabia on Saturday condemned Israeli strikes targeting military installations in southern Syria, describing the attacks as a “blatant aggression,” according to Arab News.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the Kingdom stressed its utter rejection to Israel’s violation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
The ministry also urged the international community to intervene and put an immediate end to “Israel’s violations of international laws and norms.”
“The Kingdom affirms its solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic and its support for all measures that preserve its sovereignty, maintain its territorial integrity and unity, and achieve security and stability for it and its brotherly people,” the statement said.
On Friday, the Israel hit infrastructure sites belonging to the Syrian government in southern Syria in response to what it described as attacks on the Druze community in Sweida province.
Damascus accused Israel of adopting an escalating policy seeking to destabilize the region, holding it fully accountable for the repercussions.
Moreover, the Syrian Foreign Ministry urged the United Nations Security Council to intervene and stop what it labeled as Israeli aggression.
The strikes also drew swift condemnations from Gulf and Arab capitals, including Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.
