Today, the world witnessed a new Zionist aggression against Beirut, which left dozens of dead and wounded among innocent civilians, a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Syria said.

It went on to add that this raid occurred a few days after another criminal attack involving distantly operated communication devices, which exploded and killed and maimed thousands of Lebanese citizens.

By committing these crimes, the Zionist state flaunts its brutality and its flagrant departure from humanity and international law, committing hostile acts that can be considered war crimes and crimes against humanity, said the Foreign Ministry.

The Syrian Arab Republic warned on the clear regional danger represented by these reiterated and reprehensible crimes, and denounced the military and political support provided by the United States and Western countries to Tel Aviv and its atrocities.

The Syrian Arab Republic salutes the steadfast brothers of Lebanon, trusts their ability to confront these cowardly attacks and reiterates its support in confronting the Zionist aggressor, the statement indicated.
