Tehran: Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei strongly condemned Israel’s recent deadly attacks on residential neighbourhoods in Syria on Friday.
He made the remarks in a statement released by the ministry one day after Israeli forces hit three residential buildings in the al-Mazzeh neighbourhood west of Damascus and areas on the Syrian-Lebanese border in the central province of Homs, killing at least 15 people and injuring 16 others.
Baghaei said that Israel’s “frequent and flagrant violations of Syria’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty are considered conspicuous acts of aggression under the United Nations Charter.”
The spokesperson called on the UN Security Council to take immediate action to stop the Israeli “aggressions” and hold the country accountable.
