STORYLINE:
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman accused Israel of supporting insurgents in Syria in remarks on Monday.
"The Zionist regime has been actively supporting various terrorist groups. Their goal clearly is to weaken the resistance and Syria as one of the key elements in the resistance against occupation," said Esmail Baghaei.
Iran has supported the Syrian government during the country’s civil war.
Iran routinely accuses the U.S. and Israel of supporting extremist groups in the region.
Baghaei voiced hope countries in the region would assist the Syrian government in cracking down on the insurgents.
The Syrian military rushed reinforcements to the country’s northwest and launched airstrikes on a major city Sunday in an attempt to push back insurgents who seized the country’s largest city of Aleppo in a surprise offensive in recent days.
The insurgency, led by jihadi group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, launched their campaign on Wednesday with a two-pronged attack on Aleppo and the countryside around Idlib, before moving toward neighboring Hama province.
On Sunday, government troops created a "strong defensive line" in northern Hama, according to Britain-based opposition war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, as they attempted to stall the insurgents’ momentum.
Meanwhile, jets pounded the cities of Idlib and Aleppo, killing at least 15 people, according to a group that operates in opposition-held areas.
