Micheal Mann, spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said on Monday that the EU was “looking with great concern at the recent developments in and around Syria.”
On Sunday, Syria said Israel attacked the Jamraya Research Center, located northwest of Damascus. The center had been targeted by another Israeli airstrike back in January.
The aggression came shortly after Tel Aviv confirmed on Friday that its warplanes had hit a target in Syria.
Mann said that the recent attacks “risk dragging the region into expanding conflict.”
“We call on all parties to avoid jeopardizing what is already a fragile security situation,” Mann also said calling on all sides to engage in search for a diplomatic solution.
“We want to avoid spillover effects,” he added.
Syria condemned the aggression on Sunday, describing Israel’s attacks as aiming to give “direct military support” to the foreign-backed militants fighting against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry has sent a letter to the UN Security Council that the attacks killed and wounded several people and “caused widespread destruction.”
The unrest in Syria began in March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
