Russia condemned Israeli attacks on Syria and considered them a flagrant breach of that country’s sovereignty, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated. Israel carried out its deadliest strikes in months on northern Syria’s Aleppo province early on Friday and said it had killed a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon, stepping up its campaign against Iran’s proxies in parallel with its war in Gaza. Ms Zakharova said such actions were “fraught with extremely dangerous consequences” in the light of a sharp escalation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
