According to European diplomats, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem does not want tensions to escalate over allegations that the IAF violated Syrian airspace and dropped ammunition, according to Haaretz. Moallem did note, however, that the IAF allegedly fired missiles at targets on the ground, the diplomats said.
The foreign minister also said that Israel's vow of silence regarding the incident was appropriate due to the circumstances, according to the European diplomats that met with Moallem on Sunday in Damascus.
Moallem reportedly told the diplomats that he expected Israel to apologize "through the usual channels."

"We got the impression that Syria is not interested in seeing this incident escalate."
