The international community must take immediate steps to stop the crimes committed by the Zionist criminals, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed in a statement.

It stated that the Israel’s recent aggression against the Syrian army’s air defense systems confirms once again Tel Aviv’s arrogance and terrorist and fascist approach against Syrian sovereignty and the stability and security of all countries in the region.

We reaffirm our right to self-defense guaranteed by international conventions and laws, the Foreign Ministry concluded its statement.

Several Air Defense Forces’ air defense batteries and early warning radar stations in Syria’s southern region were bombed by Israeli fighter jets on Friday.

Israel constantly bombs the national territory under the pretext of attacking pro-Iran militias, while Damascus claims that these attacks violate its sovereignty and international law.
