DAMASCUS (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli warplanes bombed sites in a town in the south of Syria’s capital as well as the southern province of Daraa late on Tuesday, while Israeli tanks carried out another military incursion into the Arab country.
According to residents, security sources and local broadcaster Syria TV, Israeli airstrikes targeted sites in the town of Kisweh in the Damascus countryside and in the vicinity of the city of Izraa in the Daraa countryside, southern Syria.
Israeli forces also advanced into the village of Ain al-Bayda in the Quneitra countryside, southern Syria, according to local media sources.
Two citizens were reportedly killed in the Israeli airstrikes on southern Syria.
The Israeli occupation army justified its attacks by claiming that the presence of military means and forces in the southern part of Syria poses a threat to the Jewish state.
The Israeli attacks came as Syria wrapped up a national dialogue conference and issued a statement condemning Israeli incursions into its territory and called on Israel to immediately withdraw its forces.
The Hamas Movement has strongly denounced the renewed Israeli attacks on southern Syria and the occupation army’s incursion into the countryside of Daraa and Quneitra.
In a statement on Wednesday, Hamas called the attacks “blatant aggression against Syria’s sovereignty” and “Israeli persistence in its bullying policy against Arab countries.”
The Movement urged the Arab and Islamic countries and the UN to shoulder their responsibilities to curb the “fascist” occupation government’s growing violations in the region and take serious steps in this regard.
