DAMASCUS: Syria on Wednesday condemned an Israeli drone strike that killed six soldiers the previous day, calling it a “clear violation” of the country’s sovereignty.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria since an opposition alliance toppled longtime ruler Bashar Assad in December.
It has also opened talks with the interim authorities in Damascus.
In a statement, Syria’s foreign ministry called the strike “a gross violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.”
It added that the attack represented “a clear breach of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.”
