Türkiye's foreign ministry has strongly condemned Israeli attacks targeting Syria’s Quneitra and Daraa provinces, saying the strikes violated Syria’s territorial integrity, unity and sovereignty.
In a statement shared on Turkish social media platform NSosyal on Monday, the ministry said the attacks also constituted a clear violation of international law and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
“We strongly condemn Israel’s attacks on Quneitra and Daraa, which violate Syria’s territorial integrity, unity and sovereignty. These attacks, which disregard the safety of the Syrian people and their property and further worsen the lives of civilians in the region, constitute a clear violation of international law and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement,” the statement said.
The ministry also called on the international community to fulfil its responsibilities to stop attacks targeting Syria’s progress since December 2024 and undermining regional stability.
The statement came after the Israeli army said on Sunday its forces killed two people in southern Syria, claiming they had moved “unusually” inside a so-called “security zone” established by Israel in Syrian territory.
Following the fall of the Assad regime on Dec. 8, 2024, Israel declared the collapse of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and occupied a buffer zone on the Syrian side of the border.
