The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Israeli aggression against several areas in Syria, stressing that it was an attempt to destabilize the country's security and stability.
In a statement, the ministry denounced and deplored the Israeli occupation forces' shelling of "several areas in the sisterly Syrian Arab Republic and its attempts to undermine its security and stability, in repeated violations of relevant international agreements and laws."
The ministry affirmed the Kingdom's solidarity with Syria, its government, and its people, emphasizing the need for the international community to fulfill its responsibilities in halting Israeli actions that threaten security and stability in the region and in preventing the conflict from further escalating.
On Tuesday night, the IOF advanced into towns in Syria's Quneitra countryside and the Daraa governorate, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
The overnight advance coincided with intense aerial aggression that targeted areas in Daraa, al-Suweida, Quneitra, and Damascus' countryside.
Israeli drones were also spotted over the Quneitra province, our correspondent added.
Sources told Al Mayadeen that Israeli warplanes bombed al-Kiswah area and flew over Damascus after. Our correspondent also reported that at least six loud explosions were heard in the Suweida countryside.
Meanwhile, Israeli media outlets reported that Israeli aircraft destroyed military infrastructure and weapons caches used by the former Syrian regime. A Syrian Arab Army camp was also bombed in the eastern Daraa countryside in southern Syria.
It is worth noting that with the fall of the Bashar al-Assad-led Syrian regime, Israeli occupation forces launched an unprecedented aggression on the country, destroying the vast majority of its strategic defenses, including cruise missile systems, ballistic missile systems, air defense systems, the Syrian naval fleet, aircraft, and research and development centers.
The aggression coincided with an Israeli ground invasion of the remainder of the Syrian Golan, the strategic Mount Hermon, and other provinces in southern Syria.
