Amman, Aug. 18 (Petra) -- Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Mohamed Albudaiwi strongly condemned Israeli air strikes targeting Abu al-Duhur military airport in Syria’s Idlib province.

In a statement published on the council’s official website on Tuesday, Albudaiwi said the Israeli attack on Syrian territory constituted an unacceptable violation of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and contravened international rules and norms prohibiting interference with the sovereignty of states.

He warned that the continuation of such actions could further escalate tensions and undermine regional and international efforts to promote security and stability in the region.
