Syria condemns Israeli strike near Damascus as sovereignty breach amid Idlib airbase attacks

Syria's foreign ministry condemned an Israeli strike on a village southwest of Damascus, labeling it a breach of the country's sovereignty and a violation of international law; Israel said the operation was aimed at a terrorist preparing attacks. Earlier, Israel bombed the Abu al-Duhur military airfield in Idlib province, damaging the runway but causing no casualties. Israel said the attack was intended to prevent Turkish forces from being deployed to the base. The strike drew condemnation from Syria and Turkey, and U.

S. envoy Tom Barrack described it as an unnecessary escalation that threatens regional stability. Turkey denied any presence at the airfield and called the Israeli action reckless.
