The Syrian Foreign Ministry pointed to the right to defend the country from attacks by the IDF

Syria has the right to defend the territory and people of its country from the actions of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) by all available means in accordance with international law. This was stated on August 26 in a statement by the Syrian Foreign Ministry, issued after the death of a citizen of the country during an Israeli operation in the province of Quneitra.

"The Syrian Arab Republic insists on its inviolable and legitimate right to defend its territory and its people by all means guaranteed by international law," the ministry said in a statement on its Telegram channel.

The aggressive actions are regarded by Damascus as a gross violation of the Charter of the United Nations (UN), international law and UN Security Council resolutions. They pose a direct threat to peace and security in the region, the country's Foreign Ministry said.
