The United Arab Emirates (UAE) issued a formal statement on Tuesday condemning Israeli airstrikes conducted against the Abu al-Duhur air base located in northwestern Syria. In its official response, the UAE Foreign Ministry described the military operation as a "flagrant violation" of international law and a direct threat to the security and stability of the region.

The UAE government further argued that these strikes constitute a breach of the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement, a treaty that Israel is bound to uphold. By targeting Syrian territory, the UAE statement asserts that Israel has undermined Syrian sovereignty. While the UAE has been vocal in its criticism of this specific military action, the report does not mention a response from Israeli officials or details regarding casualties or damage resulting from the strike. The diplomatic rebuke highlights ongoing tensions regarding Israeli military activity within Syrian borders, which Israel frequently justifies as necessary to prevent the transfer of weapons to regional proxies.
