A Syrian military source confirmed to SANA that a little girl was killed and 10 civilians were injured in an aerial attack by the Israeli forces on the city of Baniyas, located in Tartus Governorate in western Syria.
"A young girl was martyred, and 10 civilians were injured in an air raid carried out by the Israeli occupation on the city of Baniyas," the source said.
The source further mentioned that the Israeli attack, conducted on Wednesday evening, targeted one of the sites in the central region and a residential building in the Baniyas area.
"The Israeli aggression was carried out from Lebanese territory," he added, which means the Israeli occupation is killing children in Syria and Palestine while violating the former's sovereignty alongside Lebanon's.
Such acts of aggression are commonplace in Syria, with the Israeli occupation continuously violating the country's airspace and bombarding its soil.
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates repeated its unconditional support for the Palestinians in a statement. It urged the international community which believes in international law, human rights, and international humanitarian law to "fascist Israeli massacres."
The ministry called the newly waged onslaught on Rafah a savage continuation of the Zionist terrorist government's genocide and an expansionism program, citing that the criminals in the Israeli occupation and their planes and tanks have slaughtered over 35,000 Palestinians, including 16,000 children.
The destruction of the Gaza Strip was provided by the generous contributions of the US and Western weapons, the statement added, stressing that the mass graves uncovered in Gaza remind the world of fascist Nazi practices.
