Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour strongly denounced Thursday the "Israeli" air strike against a Syrian military research center, describing it as a "flagrant aggression."

"This aggression confirms one more time the true approach adopted by the terrorist country Israel since 1948 and the threats by the Zionist entity on the Arab peace and security," Mansour said.
He further considered that the de-facto peace that "Israel" wants to impose on the region will not "provide it with the required peace and security" that it is seeking.

"This aggression requires us Arabs to take a firm stance and confront it with all the legal means," the FM added, and noted that "the bombing of a Syrian research center as blunt aggression which we strongly condemn."

Similarly, the Arab League also responded to the report accusing the international community of encouraging "Israel's" actions by keeping silent. The league demanded that Syria be compensated for the damage and loss of lives.
In parallel, it accused "Israel" of violating Syria's sovereignty in clear contradiction to the United Nations charter and international laws.
The league demanded that the international community take responsibility and end "Israel's" continued assaults against Arab states. "The world's silence in the face of the "Israeli" bombing of Syrian sites in the past has encouraged "Israel" to continue its aggression while taking advantage of the situation to commit this crime," the statement mentioned.
