The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli aggression on Syrian territory, including Israel’s recent deadly bombardment of the town of Koya, the Saudi Press Agency said on Thursday.

The Jeddah-based organization described the attack as a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic, international law, and the United Nations Charter.

The General Secretariat stressed the need for the United Nations Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities and address these continuous attacks, reaffirming the OIC's solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic.

An Israeli attack killed six people in southern Syria and left several innocent people injured on Tuesday.

Syria's flag carrier Syrian Air will resume direct flights to Dubai and Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates starting on Sunday, the airline said in a Facebook post.

All flights between Syria and the UAE had been suspended in January after opposition factions toppled former leader Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.

The announcement comes days after the UAE's civil aviation authority announced the resumption of air flights between the Gulf country and Syria. No UAE-based airlines have announced plans to fly to Syria so far.

The resumption of flights between the two countries followed Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s first visit to the UAE as leader, where he met UAE's President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
