Peskov: Possible Israeli operation in Syria will lead to catastrophe in the region

[Regnum] The geography of the Middle East conflict is expanding, which is leading to the destruction of civilian infrastructure and catastrophic consequences for the region, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on October 10.
Clearly, the answer to avoiding catastrophes is not to piss off Israel.
This was his response to a request to comment on a possible Israeli ground operation in Syria. The Israeli army had previously launched a "limited ground operation" in Lebanon, and, according to some reports, may launch a similar operation in Syria.

"To our regret, the geography of military actions is already expanding. This all, of course, leads to the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Tens and hundreds of thousands of people are losing their homes, livelihoods, jobs, and so on and so forth.
Really, just don’t. Remembering, of course, that an Israeli don’t is very different than a Biden administration one.
Therefore, of course, we do not even want to talk about further expansion of the geography, the consequences of all this are catastrophic for the region," Peskov told journalists.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the Middle East was on the brink of a major war, and that there are forces that really want such a war. The minister also accused Israel of violating Lebanon's sovereignty by carrying out airstrikes on that country.

The United States is directly involved in Israel's aggression against Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, Syrian Ambassador to Russia Bashar Jaafari said earlier. Israel, with the support of the American side, crossed all red lines, which led to an escalation of the situation in the region, the diplomat emphasized.
