Muslims worldwide condemn zionist aggression against Syria

Muslims worldwide have condemned the recent Israeli aggression against Syria that was aimed at supporting the foreign-backed militant groups operating inside the Arab country, Press TV reports.

Thousands of people in several countries held demonstrations on Friday and chanted slogans against the Israeli regime.

They also burned Israeli flags and called for global action against the Israeli assaults on Syrian soil.

In Indian-administered Kashmir, hundreds of angry protesters torched effigies of US President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Srinagar, the summer capital of Kashmir. They also condemned the US and Israel’s meddling in Syria’s domestic affairs.

The protesters said that the US and Israeli intelligence services – the CIA and the Mossad – were fuelling the flames of sectarian strife among Muslims in Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and Afghanistan.

In the Egyptian capital, Cairo, the protesters called Israel the main enemy of the Muslim World. “Down with Israel. Down with Israel and its agents,” they chanted while setting an Israeli flag on fire.

Thousands of Iranians also took to the streets after Friday prayers in the capital Tehran and other cities to urge international organizations to act against the Israeli attacks on Syria.

They also condemned the desecration of holy sites by the militant groups in Syria.

The Syrian state television reported last Sunday that Israel had attacked the Jamraya research center, located northwest of the capital, Damascus. The center had been targeted by another Israeli airstrike back in January.

The Sunday attack came shortly after Tel Aviv confirmed that its warplanes had hit another target in Syria on Friday.

Syria has been experiencing deadly unrest since March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of Syrian army and security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
