OREANDA-NEWS. Moscow considers the airstrikes inflicted by the Israeli Air Force on the territory of Syria wrong. This was announced on Wednesday by the special representative of the Russian President for the Middle East and African countries, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov. “We will still find out the circumstances, this is all very wrong”, he said. “This simply leads to an unnecessary escalation of tension”.

According to the Israeli army press service, the Air Force attacked dozens of Al-Quds battalions of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) and the Syrian army in response to an earlier attack on Jewish territory state. On Tuesday, the Israeli military informed of the interception by air defense of four missiles launched from Syria through the Golan Heights. According to the Israeli News Agency, as a result of these actions, at least two civilians were killed.

It was previously reported that the United States has revised the approach of previous administrations in favor of recognizing Israeli settlements in the West Bank that comply with international law. This was announced on Monday at a briefing for journalists by Secretary of State Michael Pompeo.
