[Regnum] Damascus supports the struggle of the Palestinian Hamas movement with Israel, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in connection with the fighting that began on October 7. This was reported by the Syrian agency SANA. “Syria reaffirms its support for the Palestinian people and their forces fighting Zionist terrorism and emphasizes that Palestine is close to achieving the desired victory,” the statement said. The Foreign Ministry called Hamas's actions a response to Palestinian resistance forces in an effort to achieve the right to create their own independent state. As Regnum reported , Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal said that the fighting began due to Israel's refusal to recognize a Palestinian state for many years. He added that peace in the region will be possible when Tel Aviv accepts the two-state principle. Israel's ambassador to Russia said there would be a military and political response to the Hamas attack . He also declared Iran's involvement in the events, accusing the country of financing terrorists. Fighting between Hamas and the Israeli army began in the morning. The Palestinian side launched massive missile attacks on Israel, and militants also entered some Israeli facilities. The head of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Yoav Galant, called what was happening a war. Israel reported that more than 100 people were killed and more than 900 were injured from the militants' actions. In Palestine, according to the latest data, more than 160 people were killed and more than 930 were injured. |
