EU concerned by recent attack on Israeli forces at Golan Heights

The European Union is seriously concerned by the recent attack on Israeli army posts on the Golan Heights, which Israel blames on Iran, the European Union’s External Action service said on Thursday, TASS reported.

"Reports about last night's Iranian attacks against Israeli army posts from inside Syria to which Israel responded by striking against Iranian targets in Syria are extremely worrying," an EU spokesperson said in a statement.

The document stresses that "Israel has the right to defend itself."

"At the same time, we call on all regional actors to show restraint and avoid any escalation, which could further undermine regional stability," the statement reads.
