According to the Syrian Foreign Ministry, Israel’s latest move towards a “direct confrontation” indicates the start of a “new phase of aggression” against Syria, the SANA agency reported.

“This aggressive conduct by the Zionist entity [pejorative for the State of Israel]… will lead to nothing but an increase in tensions in the region,” Syrian news agency SANA cited an official in the ministry as saying.
