The "Insan Organization for Rights and Freedoms" strongly condemns the airstrikes carried out by Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, targeting sovereign sites in the Syrian capital, Damascus, including the General Staff Headquarters and the vicinity of the Presidential Palace. These attacks represent a blatant violation of the sovereignty of a member state of the United Nations.
The organization affirms that these strikes constitute a grave breach of international humanitarian law and the UN Charter and reflect a recurring pattern of aggression and bullying practiced by Israel in the region—unchecked and unaccountable—amid a troubling international silence.
Insan warns that these raids come as part of a malicious attempt to destabilize Syria from within, by exploiting recent internal events in Suwayda Governorate—events that the Syrian authorities have openly rejected and pledged to investigate, with promises to hold those responsible accountable.
The "Insan Organization for Rights and Freedoms" expresses its full solidarity with the Syrian people and calls on the international community to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities in putting an end to these violations. It also urges the Syrian government to act swiftly to defuse internal strife through inclusive national dialogue aimed at addressing tensions and strengthening the unity of Syrian society.
