Syria: Israeli occupation’s heinous crime in Majdal Shams aims at escalating the situation in the region

Syria has stressed that the Israeli occupation committed a heinous crime in the town of Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan with the aim of escalating the situation in the region, pointing out that this entity held the Lebanese resistance responsible for its crime in an attempt to create pretexts for expanding its aggression against the region.

“As part of its attempts to escalate the situation in the region and expand its aggression against it, the Israeli occupation entity committed a heinous crime yesterday in the city of Majdal Shams in the Syrian Golan, which has been occupied by the Israeli entity since 1967, and then blamed the Lebanese National Resistance for this crime,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement on Sunday.

Syria condemns the continued perpetration of massacres by the Israeli occupation entity, denounces the occupation’s blatant attempts to fabricate pretexts to expand its aggression and holds it fully responsible for this dangerous escalation of the situation in the region, the ministry went on to say.

Syria affirms that people in the occupied Syrian Golan, who have refused give up their Syrian Arab identity over decades of Israeli occupation, will not be fooled by the occupation’s and false accusations against the Lebanese national resistance which claimed that resistance was the one that bombed Majdal Shams, especially since the people in the Syrian Golan have always been an integral part of the resistance against the occupation and its aggressive policies that violate land and identity.
