Iran on Friday said it “strongly condemns” Israel’s attacks on neighboring Syria that reportedly hit nearly all of the Iranian military's infrastructure in the country, Reuters reported, citing state TV.

The Israeli military said Thursday it attacked dozens of Iranian targets in Syria in response to an Iranian rocket barrage on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights, in the most serious military confrontation between the two bitter enemies to date.

Israel says the strikes were retaliation for an Iranian rocket barrage on its positions in the Golan Heights and has called on the U.N. Security Council and secretary-general to immediately condemn Iran’s attack.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an immediate halt to "all hostile acts" to avoid "a new conflagration" in the Middle East after Israeli forces bombed Iranian targets inside Syria.
