The leader of the Sadrist Movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, condemned the Israeli bombing of Syria on Wednesday evening. He called on Arab governments to take a stand against these attacks and urged the Syrian interim president, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, to avoid "sectarianism.

In a statement, Al-Sadr said, "We are closely monitoring the colonial Zionist movements and their terrorist attacks on the sisterly Syrian Republic.

He added, "While we denounce and condemn the Zionist bombing, we hope that Arab governments in general and the Syrian government in particular, especially the Syrian president, will refrain from making sectarian statements and not stand idly by in the face of Israeli bombing and its colonial incursion into Syrian territories.

He continued, "Abandoning sectarian statements will strengthen Islamic unity and will be a gateway to a strong Islamic and Arab stance against the Zionist-American aggressions in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza.

Al-Sadr emphasized, "In general, we remain with the people and against dictatorships, international terrorism, and sectarianism. We hope everyone will act wisely and follow the authentic Muhammadan path and that the Syrian and Iraqi peoples will remain brothers under the banner of resistance inspired by the Ahl al-Bayt and the honorable companions."
