Israel’s recent aggression against a Syrian research center in suburban Damascus disclosed Israel’s involvement in the recent unrests in Syria, a prominent Syrian religious leader said.
Speaking at a meeting with Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili here in Tehran on Thursday, Syria’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun said Israel’s recent airstrike on Syria clearly exposed anti-Syria bids and the direct involvement of the Israeli regime in the crisis in Syria,according to FNA.
The Syrian Army said in a statement on Wednesday that two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a scientific center in Jamraya, 25 kilometers (15 miles) Northwest of the capital Damascus.
He also underlined the need for increased vigilance among Muslims to foil plots devised by the enemy to create a rift among Muslims.
During the meeting, Jalili said Damascus is at the forefront of the anti-Israel resistance campaign and the Muslim world will not allow Israel to march on Syrian soil.
He said military action against Syria would be a bitter disappointment for Israel like its failures in the wars it waged against Lebanon in 2006, Gaza Strip once in 2008-2009, and November 2012.
The senior Iranian official described Iran’s support for Syria and its resistance against Israel as whole-hearted and unwavering.
