On Wednesday, Pakistan strongly condemned Israel's "unprovoked" airstrike on a Syrian air base, warning that such acts could further destabilize the region. Syria's state-run Ekhbariya television reported that Israel conducted eight airstrikes on the runway and storage facilities at Abu al-Duhur base near Aleppo. Neither Israeli nor Syrian sources reported any casualties.
The Foreign Office emphasized that the attack was a clear violation of international law and called for the international community to hold Israel accountable for its actions. US envoy Tom Barrack echoed these sentiments, stating that the strikes "constitute an unnecessary escalation that does not advance regional stability." The attack marks Israel's defiance of the United States, which has backed Syria's new government.
Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Shibani urged Israel to reconsider its position, asserting that the strikes had no security justification and threatening further diplomatic efforts to deter further attacks.
