Russia condemns Israeli strikes on Syria

Russia's foreign ministry spokesperson said that Moscow condemns the Israeli strikes on Syria and considers them a flagrant violation of the country's sovereignty.

Israel carried out air strikes in Syria's Aleppo province earlier on Friday, killing more than 42 people. Israel also said that it killed a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon.

The spokesperson said the actions were "fraught with extremely dangerous consequences" in the light of an escalation in the wider conflict arising from Israel's war on Gaza.
