RIYADH: Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the recent Israeli air strikes in southern Syria, describing them as attempts to destabilize the region’s security and stability. The Kingdom also criticized the strikes as repeated violations of international law, according to a statement from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) did not specify the exact locations of the strikes.
