Syria condemned, on Tuesday, the Israeli air strikes on its military forces, warning that"the Israeli aggression came at a deliberate time and in a suspicious context to destabilize national stability."

The Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement,"We condemn the Israeli aggression raids that resulted in the martyrdom of a number of our forces and civilians." It added,"The Israeli aggression came at a deliberate time and in a suspicious context aimed at destabilizing national stability." It affirmed,"Syria adheres to its right to defend its land and people by all means guaranteed by international law," emphasizing "Syria's keenness to protect its people without exception, foremost among them our Druze people." It continued,"Our Druze people constitute an integral part of the national identity and the unified Syrian fabric." Earlier today, the Israeli army launched raids on Syrian forces advancing with tanks toward the city of Sweida, which has been witnessing fierce battles for days between its Druze residents and the Syrian forces.
