Islamist and leftist Palestinian parties have strongly denounced two recent Israeli air attacks in Syria. The first strike took place on May 3, reportedly targeting a shipment of missiles bound for Hezbollah near the Lebanon border. The second attack occurred on May 5 and, according to the BBC, hit an area that “houses numerous military facilities, including the Jamraya research center, designated by Syria as a scientific research center.”
Yasser Abd Rabbo, a senior official in the Palestine Liberation Organization, condemned the Israeli strikes as “unjustifiable attacks on the sovereignty of Syria” and called on all parties in Syria to reach a political solution to put an end to the fighting there.
