Iran strongly deplored the Israeli airstrikes on Syrian territories, calling on the UN to condemn it and take serious action to prevent repetition of such aggression.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi underlined on Saturday that the Zionists’ attacks against the Syrian territories indicate that Israel’s interests are met by strengthening the Takfiri-Zionist terrorists.

He warned of the consequences of any repetition of such provocative measures, and asked the UN to deplore them and do its best to prevent repetition of such acts which are against peace and security.

On Friday, the General Command of the Army and the Armed Forced announced that the Syrian air defense downed one of four Israeli warplanes that violated the Syrian airspace and targeted a military site in the eastern countryside of Homs.

According to a statement by the Command, the four Israeli aircrafts violated the Syrian airspace in al- Breij area through the Lebanese territories at 2:40 am.
