Syria’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that Israel holds full responsibility for the latest attacks on southern Syria and the consequences.
The ministry said it is keen to protect all Syrian citizens without exception, including the Druze minority.
Israel carried out strikes against Syrian government forces in southwestern Syria for a second day on Tuesday, vowing to keep the area demilitarized and to protect the Druze minority amid reports that Druze were being executed by Syrian forces.
