RNA - "We are concerned over Israel’s continued practice of delivering unilateral airstrikes on the Syrian territory in violation of the sovereignty of neighboring Arab nations," she stated, according to TASS.

"The latest such attack was staged by Israeli warplanes on March 5 from Lebanon’s airspace. As a result, one Syrian soldier was killed and more than ten were wounded," Zakharova added.

"We are convinced that such arbitrary military actions undermine regional stability and heighten tensions," she stressed.

On March 5, Israeli warplanes delivered missile strikes at military facilities in Syria’s Central Homs and Southern Quneitra provinces. According to Sham FM radio station, at least 12 missiles fired from the Israeli fighter jets were intercepted by Syria’s air defense forces.
