The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned on Saturday the ongoing and escalating Israeli attacks against Syrian territory.

It slammed Israel’s recent airstrike near the presidential palace in Damascus.

The OIC stated that this act is a blatant violation of international law and Syria's sovereignty, reiterating the country's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.

It called on the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to take decisive action to stop these repeated attacks that jeopardize regional peace and security.
