Hezbollah issued a strong condemnation on Thursday in response to the latest Israeli aggression on Syrian territory, labeling the attack a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and international law. The movement described the strike as part of a continued pattern of Zionist assaults targeting Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Iran, and now Syria.

In an official statement, Hezbollah denounced the Israeli regime’s actions as a “cowardly act of aggression” aimed at destabilizing sovereign nations, sowing internal divisions, and presenting itself falsely as a guarantor of regional security. The group stressed that such actions serve only to confirm that the Israeli occupation is “the greatest threat to the region’s security and stability.”

“This aggression is nothing but another chapter in the Israeli enemy’s broader strategy of violating the sovereignty of nations and exploiting internal divisions,” the statement read. “It presents itself as a savior while it is, in fact, the source of all instability.”

'Israel' respects no agreements 

Hezbollah warned that the Israeli occupation does not honor any agreements or international norms, stating that it only understands the “language of force.” The movement asserted that “the Zionist enemy views peoples and states merely as tools to serve its settler-colonial project” and seeks to keep them weak and subjugated.

Reaffirming its long-held stance, Hezbollah stressed that internal dialogue and national unity are the only viable path to resolving internal conflicts, urging the Syrian people to close ranks and stand united in the face of repeated foreign aggression.

“We have confidence in the steadfast and proud Syrian people and their ability to resist occupation and reject all forms of aggression,” the statement said.

Hezbollah concluded by calling on the Arab and Islamic nations to remain vigilant, warning that the Israeli entity would not hesitate to “devour everyone” if given the opportunity. The movement emphasized that a firm and unified resistance remains the only guarantee for preserving the dignity, sovereignty, and independence of the region’s peoples.

Global condemnations pour in over Israeli aggression

Global and regional reactions continued to pour in on Wednesday following the Israeli occupation’s deadly airstrikes on Damascus, with multiple governments and political blocs warning of the dangerous consequences of further escalation in the region.

In a statement from Paris, the French Foreign Ministry condemned "violations against civilians in Syria" and called for an immediate halt to the hostilities, emphasizing the need to protect civilian lives and uphold international humanitarian law. 

Turkey's Foreign Ministry also strongly criticized the strikes, denouncing them as deliberate attempts to derail efforts to restore peace and stability in Syria. Ankara reiterated its rejection of all acts that violate Syrian sovereignty.

In Yemen, the political bureau of the Ansar Allah movement condemned what it described as the "brutal Zionist aggression on Syria," calling it a flagrant violation of Syrian sovereignty and an extension of the occupation’s hostile regional agenda.

Meanwhile, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) issued a statement strongly condemning the Israeli occupation’s attacks on Syrian territory. The GCC affirmed its full solidarity with the Syrian people and underscored the importance of respecting international law and sovereignty.

'Israel' attacks Syria amid sectarian clashes

These airstrikes come hours after intense Israeli aircraft activity in southern Syrian airspace, coinciding with ongoing tensions and clashes inside Sweida city for the third consecutive day.

Local sources told Al Mayadeen that Israeli occupation warplanes conducted multiple airstrikes hitting supply routes used by military groups linked to Syria's transitional Defense Ministry, both near the city of Sweida and in areas surrounding Daraa province.

The sources confirmed that the Israeli airstrikes directly targeted Thaala military airport, causing casualties among stationed forces, while also hitting positions and gatherings of armed factions linked to Syria's Transitional Ministry of Defense during two separate strikes on the 52nd Brigade east of Daraa.

Violent clashes have broken out again in southern Syria's Sweida despite this week's ceasefire announcement, as Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported Wednesday that the truce agreement 'was not implemented' and that combat has escalated in intensity.
