New York, IRNA – United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has condemned the widespread violations of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity by Israel, according to a UN spokesperson.

Speaking on Thursday, Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the Secretary-General, expressed Guterres’ deep concern over the recent and extensive breaches.

The Secretary-General is particularly alarmed by the hundreds of Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple locations in Syria, Dujarric told reporters. He emphasized the urgent need for de-escalation on all fronts across the country.

Guterres' remarks come amid growing international concern over heightened tensions and repeated cross-border attacks, which have further destabilized Syria following reports from Syrian opposition groups claiming control over Damascus and the departure of President Bashar al-Assad from the capital.
