Press release on Israeli air strikes on Syria
According to incoming information, on October 12, the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes on the Syrian Arab Republic, damaging the runways at Damascus and Aleppo international airports. The airports suspended operations.
These actions by Israel are a flagrant violation of Syria's sovereignty and of the basic principles of international law. Important civilian infrastructure facilities like airports have again been chosen as targets for an attack on Syria. This posed a real threat to innocent people and international air traffic security.
With tensions running high around the Palestine-Israeli conflict, the use of force like this is fraught with very dangerous consequences, as it could provoke armed escalation across the entire region. This must not be allowed to continue.
