Syria's foreign ministry on Tuesday condemned Israeli strikes on the southwestern city of Daraa, which it said killed and injured civilians.
The strikes a day earlier killed at least three people and injured 19 others, the Syrian civil defence group, known as the White Helmets, said.
The Syrian foreign ministry said the strikes were "part of a campaign waged by Israel against the Syrian people and the country's stability".
"The ongoing Israeli aggression on Syria is not only a violation of international law, but is also a direct threat to regional and international security," the ministry said.
The Israeli army confirmed the strikes, the latest in a string of attacks targeting Syria's military infrastructure since mainly Sunni Muslim Islamist fighters toppled President Bashar al-Assad in December. Israel said it targeted military headquarters and sites containing weapons and equipment.
An Islamist regime took power in Syria on December 8.
