The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Syrian transitional government today condemned an Israeli drone strike targeting a civilian vehicle on the Mazraat Beit Jinn road in western rural Damascus, which resulted in one civilian being injured.

The ministry described the strike as a “blatant violation” of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and a “flagrant breach” of international law. It held Israel fully responsible for the consequences of what it described as repeated attacks on Syrian territory.

The ministry called on the international community and the United Nations Security Council to assume their responsibilities and take the necessary measures to halt these attacks. It warned that their continuation would further exacerbate tensions and instability in the region and threaten the safety of civilians.
