Syria calls on United Nations and Security Council to issue clear condemnation of Israeli occupation’s attacks on Syrian sovereignty

Syria called on the UN Security Council and the United Nations to condemn clearly and explicitly the Israeli occupation’s attacks on Syrian sovereignty and to take an unambiguous stance against them, far from any politicized considerations and calculations that contradict the well-established and clear legal and political position of the United Nations and its bodies.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a letter to both the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the Security Council on Saturday, “The Israeli occupation army carried out on Saturday an air attack from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea west of Banias, targeting some points in the central region. This brutal Israeli aggression led to the martyrdom of five people, including one civilian, and wounding seven citizens, including a child, and causing heavy material losses. It also caused the outbreak of several fires in the forests of the countryside of Masiaf due to the fall of a number of hostile missiles in those areas.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added: This Israeli aggression came hours after another aggression committed by terrorists in northern Syria when they attacked Syrian Arab Army units, which led to the death of ten soldiers and the wounding of others, indicating that these two attacks came as a result of permanent coordination between Israel and its tools of terrorists and killers.

The ministry added that Syria calls on the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Security Council to issue a clear and explicit condemnation of this aggression, in line with the mandate of the Security Council to maintain international peace and security and to implement United Nations resolutions related to ending the Israeli occupation of the occupied Syrian territories.
