ISTANBUL (AA) - Saudi Arabia condemned the Israeli bombing of Syria late Wednesday and called on the international community to stop Israel’s actions, which destabilize security and stability in the region.

In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said the Kingdom "expresses its condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation forces' bombing of several areas in the sisterly Syrian Arab Republic and their attempts to undermine its security and stability, in repeated violations of relevant international agreements and laws."

The ministry also expressed solidarity with Syria, its government and its people.

It also highlighted "the necessity for the international community to fulfill its responsibilities in stopping Israel’s destabilizing actions, preventing the expansion of the conflict—an issue that Saudi Arabia has repeatedly warned about."
