Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned the recent Israeli strikes targeting five locations in Syria, which resulted in numerous civilian and military casualties.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, the Kingdom reiterated its “categorical rejection of the Israeli occupation authorities' attempts to threaten the security and stability of Syria and the region through their violations of international law.”
The Kingdom stressed the need for the international community, particularly the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, to assume their responsibilities by taking a firm stance against the ongoing Israeli violations.

Saudi Arabia also called for the implementation of international accountability mechanisms.
