MOSCOW, June 1. /TASS/. Israel fully supports the actions of the Russian Federation in the fight against terrorism in Syria, Israel’s Ambassador to Russia Zvi Heifetz told the Rossiya 24 television channel Wednesday.

"We are not getting involved directly in the operation in Syria. It is clear that we support Russia fully in the fight against international terrorism, against ISIL (former name of the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia)," Heifetz said.

He said that the entire "normal" world supports Russia in that issue. "Russia decided to do something in that regard, and it is doing it," he said.

The ceasefire regime took effect in Syria on February 27. Shortly before, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution supporting a cessation of hostilities. The document drafted by Russia and the United States was backed by all 15 Security Council member states.

The ceasefire regime does not cover the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organizations as well as other groups ruled terrorist by the Security Council.

Russia takes an active part in the Syrian settlement effort. It helps Syria's authorities fight terrorists and has conducted mine clearing work in the ancient city of Palmyra.
