Israeli air strikes on Damascus, targeting the Syrian military headquarters, defense ministry, and areas around it — aim to sabotage Syria's efforts to establish peace and security, Turkey's foreign ministry said on Wednesday.

The ministry said Syria had a historic opportunity to live in peace and integrate into the world after the toppling Bashar al-Assad, the former president, in December.
