Doha: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has condemned Israeli military incursions into Syrian territory and the shelling of the southern governorates of Quneitra and Daraa, describing the actions as a violation of Syria's sovereignty and international law.

According to Qatar News Agency, GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi stated that the Israeli operations constituted a "dangerous escalation" that risked increasing regional tensions and instability.
