DAMASCUS,(ST)_The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has stressed that Syria has repeatedly appealed to the UNSC to denounce Israel’s repeated attacks on Syria’s sovereignty and territories and to adopt serious measures to stop these attacks and to question “Israel”.
In a letter sent on Monday to the UN Secretary General and President of the UN Security council, the ministry said that Israeli occupation authorities carried out yesterday at 10:16 pm a missile attack from the occupied Syrian Golan and targeted some areas in the vicinity of Damascus.
It added that the recent Israeli missile attack came two days after the US warplanes bombed the Syrian-Iraqi border, stressing that the successive US Administrations and some western countries support and protect “Israel” and cover its repeated crimes.
The ministry made it clear that the recent Israeli attack was carried out under systematic false pretexts and lies, which are being used by the attackers on Syria’s sovereignty.
“These pretexts are overt attempts to turn facts up-side down and to hide Israel’s responsibility for its aggressive policy and its practice of state terrorism.. Israel is a rogue entity and it poses a threat to international security and peace.. The threat that Israel poses is not less than that one the ISIS and Al-Nusra Front terrorists and other blacklisted terrorist groups pose.. It is better for the international community to eradicate these terrorist groups for the good of all mankind,” the ministry underlined.
It went on to say that international community’s acceptance of the US and Israeli pretexts means to turn the world into a forest where the UN and its charter and international laws have no role.
The ministry stressed that Israel’s repeated attacks will never succeed in protecting its partners and agents of terrorist groups and they will never succeed in distracting the Syrian army from eliminating terrorism.
“Syria will not hesitate to exercise its right to defend its lands, people and sovereignty by all means that are guaranteed by UN charter and international law,” The ministry concluded
