Russia strongly denounced, on Thursday, the ongoing Israeli shelling of Syrian territory, affirming that the unacceptable actions violate international law.
"We consider it necessary to emphasize that the ongoing Israeli shelling of the Syrian territory, the violation of the basic rights of international law is categorically unacceptable and inadmissible," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"We strongly condemn such irresponsible actions, which increase the number of military and civilian casualties and pose a real threat of an uncontrolled escalation of tension throughout the region," Zakharova added.
Furthermore, she stressed that such attacks "lead to a decrease in the military capacity of the Syrian Armed Forces and have a negative impact on the effectiveness of efforts to combat terrorism on Syrian soil."
The spokeswoman called on the Israeli occupation entity to stop these brutal, fierce and dangerous attacks in the Arab region.
On Wednesday, Israeli aerial missile aggression killed four soldiers and wounded three others in the vicinity of Damascus. The Syrian air defences intercepted the missiles and shot down some of them, Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
