Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Saudi Arabia's strong condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation forces' bombing of the Syrian town of Koya that resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens of innocent people.

In a statement, the ministry said that Saudi Arabia reiterates its categorical rejection of the continued attempts by the Israeli occupation authorities to undermine the security and stability of Syria and the region through their blatant and repeated violations of relevant international laws.

Saudi Arabia expressed its solidarity with Syria in the face of this unjustified Israeli aggression. The ministry underlined the need for member states of the UN Security Council to fulfill their role to stand firmly and seriously against these ongoing Israeli violations in Syria and the region, and to activate international accountability mechanisms.

At least seven people were killed in Israeli attacks on the town of Koya west of southern Syria’s Deraa on Tuesday, the latest of several recent strikes on the country.
