The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, stated that the Israeli airstrikes in Syria are a gross violation of the Syrian sovereignty, and those airstrikes can provoke a serious escalation. “The on-going Israeli airstrikes against the targets in Syria cause a deep concern.

The on-going attacks have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the efforts, taken by the Syrians and their allies, to eliminate the terrorists in Syria» — Maria Zakharova concluded.
