Responding to a question about Israeli regime strikes against the Abu al-Duhur Military Airbase in Idlib province, Dujarric said the UN had seen the attacks and called for them to stop.
“It's yet another very worrying violation of the territorial integrity and airspace of Syria. These airstrikes should stop, and we stand against them,” Dujarric told reporters at a UN briefing.
Meanwhile, Dujarric said the UN was “deeply alarmed” by the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the occupied West Bank.
He said Israeli regime forces had instructed 10 Palestinian families in Tulkarm’s Jabal Al Nasr neighborhood to temporarily leave their homes during military activities near the adjacent Nur Shams refugee camp.
Israeli regime military bulldozers also damaged water and sewage networks while excavating a road and Palestinian land, he said.
The families returned after Israeli regime forces withdrew, while municipal crews repaired the damaged infrastructure.
In the Gaza Strip, Dujarric said humanitarian needs remained “immense,” while UN partners continued aid deliveries and other operations where possible.
He cited a UN assessment finding that only 3% of Gaza’s cropland remains accessible and undamaged.
Dujarric also expressed concern over continued Israeli regime airstrikes, shelling, gunfire and naval fire affecting civilians, primarily west of the so-called yellow line, where most of Gaza’s population is concentrated.
