Jumblat Denounces Israeli Attack in Syria, Says it Complicates Conflict

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Progressive Socialist Party chief MP Walid Jumblat condemned on Monday the Israeli attack against Syria, saying it further complicates the conflict in the neighboring country.

“The attack offers the Syrian regime an excuse to accuse the opposition of collaborating with Israeli,” Jumblat told al-Anbaa.

He pointed out that “whatever the stance was regarding the Syrian regime it doesn't justify the Israeli attack.”

Israeli raids on Sunday hit three military sites outside Damascus, the second such reported attack in 48 hours, reportedly targeting weapons bound for Hizbullah which is an ally of President Bashar Assad's regime.

The Syrian government warned that the regional situation was "more dangerous" following the raid as fears grew of a spillover of the conflict.

The Jewish state has frequently warned it would act to stop the transfer of advanced weapons systems or chemical weapons to Hizbullah, with which it fought a devastating war in 2006.

Jumblat lashed out at the international community of inaction in Damascus as it is “overlooking the daily massacres in Syria.”

He also slammed the international community for “magnifying the threats that would be carried out by the Takfiri groups to justify its why it's refraining from arming the opposition.”

Jumblat said that the regime is waging a “cleansing campaign across the country,”

He reiterated calls on Druze in Syria to join the Free Syrian Army.

More than 70,000 people have been killed since the violence exploded in March 2011, according to U.N. figures.

The terrorists ,the Saudis,Qatar, Harari,March 14 all collaborate with Isreal.Unfortunately for YOU Greater Isreal includes the Golan Heaights and Southern Lebanon up to the Tyre River. Hezbollah will have to be cleared off therefore they will be pushed northward as part of the restructuring of the Middle East and the destruction of Iran. Benevolent Isreal will be the only power in the Middle East. You people are really stupid. Watch what you ask for and don't complain when you get what you deserve.The Fruits of Idiocy, all that good stuff from Isreal and the United Staes ist going to fall in the lap of March 14 and you will all be as rich as Harari and the other Saudi lapdogs. Paradise on Earth.

@starsky you might prove yourself right. I suspect without proof, just a hunch, that indeed Syria/Israel often collaborate to their mutual benefit while publicly sabre rattling to keep up the charade. Israeli satellites map Syria 24/7 eight ways from Sunday and knows where shipments are on the ground at any given time. The question that begs itself is: where were Syria's surface to air defenses during the raid? Not a single missile fired??? Hmmm I wonder. Keep up the good work Israel/Syria, please make sure the Party of God aka, the Party of Terror and Intimidation doesn't get anymore weapons!
