The United Nations is against any violation of the territorial integrity of Syria, a spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday when asked about strikes by Israel on its neighbor.

"We're against these types of attacks. I think this is a turning point for Syria. It should not be used by its neighbors to encroach on the territory of Syria," U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
