France condemned the violence targeting civilians and called for independent investigations into the atrocities, stating it would support a more inclusive Syria respecting minority rights, as declared by the French foreign ministry.
The Syrian Information Ministry rejected allegations against government forces but committed to investigations regarding civilian harm, pledging to hold accountable those responsible for violations.
