Arab States Call Israeli Strike on Syrian Airbase a 'Dangerous Escalation'

Five Arab nations have condemned Israeli military action against a Syrian airbase, calling it a "blatant breach of international law." Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia issued statements on [Day] criticizing the strike on Syria's Abu al-Duhur airbase. The countries described the attack as a "dangerous escalation" that threatens regional stability. The airbase, located in Syria's Idlib province, was hit by Israeli forces. The specific timing and extent of the damage were not detailed in the initial reports. The Arab states argued that the strike violates Syria's sovereignty. They urged the international community to take a firm stance against what they view as repeated violations of international norms. Israel has not yet issued a public response to the condemnation. The strike is part of a broader pattern of Israeli operations targeting what it describes as Iranian-linked military positions inside Syria.
