OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Mahmoud Mirdawi, a leader in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, condemned the brutal Israeli aggression against Syria on Monday morning, which resulted in the martyrdom of 14 individuals and the injury of 43 others. He affirmed that this attack is part of the Israeli policy of aggression against all Arab and Islamic countries.
Mirdawi said, “The Israeli aggression reflects the increasing hostility of the Zionist entity towards the region and the escalation of its terrorism against all components of the nation.”
He expressed full solidarity with Syria in the face of the Israeli aggression. He added that the aggression against Syria necessitates uniting all fronts to confront the escalating Israeli violations and to prevent it from infringing upon our Islamic and Christian sanctities, which belong to the entire nation.
Mirdawi pointed out that the international and Arab silence regarding the Israeli crimes in Palestine, supported and sponsored by the U.S. administration, encourages it to persist in its aggression without restraint.
On Monday morning, the Syrian news agency reported that the number of martyrs from the Israeli bombardment in the vicinity of Masyaf in Hama province had risen to 14, in addition to 43 injured. Earlier reports from Syrian media quoted the Health Directorate in Hama as saying that Israeli shelling on Masyaf led to 5 martyrs and 19 injuries.
For its part, the Syrian Ministry of Information said that the air defenses responded to an aggression that targeted several points in the central region of the country, while official Syrian media reported that Israel launched about 15 airstrikes in the central region.
On the other hand, the Israeli media reported on Monday morning that “the air force conducted 5 strikes on sites inside Syria last night and early this morning,” claiming that “the targeted sites in Syria included a facility for developing weapons of mass destruction in Masyaf, Hama.”
