Korea condemns Israel for invading Syrian airspace By Yoav Stern, By Haaretz Correspondent and Agencies Tags: Israel, strike, Syria  North Korea lashed out Tuesday at Israel for invading Syrian airspace last Thursday, its official news agency said. "This is a very dangerous provocation little short of wantonly violating the sovereignty of Syria and seriously harassing the regional peace and security," a spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry was quoted as saying by the Korean Central News Agency. " Advertisement The Democratic People's Republic of Korea strongly denounces the above-said intrusion and extends full support and solidarity to the Syrian people in their just cause to defend the national security and the regional peace," he added. Syrian air defenses opened fire on Israeli aircraft after they flew over northern Syria and dropped ammunition on September 6, according to Syria's official media. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Il, also sent greetings Tuesday to Syrian President Bashar Assad for his 42nd birthday. Kim wished Assad good health, happiness and greater success in his responsibility-heavy work. The message stated: "Today the Syrian people under your leadership is striving to defend the country's sovereignty and honor and to build a modern society, while meeting all challenges and overcoming all difficulties, and making a positive contribution to a fair and comprehensive resolution of the Middle Eastern problem." The message said with satisfaction that the friendship and cooperation between the two countries are growing steadily stronger.
