Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warns that the Israeli regime's strikes against Syria will escalate tensions in the region and push it to a "dangerous abyss."
Speaking to reporters during a briefing on Friday, Zakharova said Russia condemns the recent Israeli aggression against the Mediterranean coastal city of Baniyas in the northwestern province of Tartous.
She added that the Israeli aviation carried out the strikes late on Monday "under the pretext of arms depots located there."
"We categorically condemn such irresponsible actions. They increase the probability of the spread of the Middle Eastern conflict, and push the region to a dangerous abyss," the Russian spokesperson said.
