Syria Condemns Israeli Airstrikes on Homs, Latakia, Palmyra

Syria has strongly condemned a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting military sites near Homs, Latakia, and Palmyra, calling them blatant violations of its sovereignty and international law. The Syrian Foreign Ministry described these attacks as direct threats to Syrian security and regional stability, urging the United Nations Security Council to intervene. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported powerful explosions and military site strikes but noted no immediate casualty figures. Israel has not officially confirmed the recent strikes, though Israeli officials have previously stated that their operations aim to prevent weapons from reaching extremist groups. Throughout 2025, Israel has conducted nearly 100 attacks in Syria, including both air and ground operations, escalating tensions amid ongoing conflicts and political instability in the region. Syrian authorities view the strikes as part of a continued aggressive campaign by Israel against Syrian territory.
