ISTANBUL

Türkiye on Friday condemned Israel’s strike targeting military infrastructure in southern Syria, branding it a “dangerous escalation.”

In a statement, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said the attack violated international law and Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The ministry called on the international community to assume responsibility to halt Israel’s attacks, stressing the importance of implementing the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement.

“Türkiye will continue, as it has done so far, to stand in solidarity with the Syrian government and its people in efforts to establish lasting stability and security in the country on the basis of Syria’s territorial integrity, unity, and sovereignty,” it said.

Earlier, the Israeli army claimed that it had struck a command center and weapons depots at military bases belonging to the Damascus administration in southern Syria.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry also condemned the Israeli attack targeting military infrastructure.
