Syria to UNSC: Prevent ’Israel’s’ Attacks

By Staff- Agencies 

Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned as unacceptable "Israel’s" continued attacks on its lands, urging the United Nations Security Council to stop the recurrence of such aggression.

In a letter addressed to the United Nations Secretary General and the president of the UN Security Council, the Syrian ministry said that "Israel" had fired a barrage of missiles through Lebanese airspace toward the Masyaf area in the western countryside of Hama Province in Syria in the early hours of Friday.

The ministry described the attack as “a flagrant violation of the Security Council resolution 350 of 1974,” and said it was aimed at hindering the Syrian army’s campaign against foreign-backed terrorists.

According to Syria’s official news agency, SANA, the ministry stressed that "Israel’s" “dangerous aggressive approach” toward Damascus could not continue without the US’s “unlimited” support as well as the immunity from accountability provided to the apartheid entity by Washington and some countries in the Security Council.

“Such attacks endanger the security and stability of the region, and its persistence is unacceptable and will have consequences,” the letter read.

It further highlighted that "This new "Israeli" aggression comes on the eve of the day when the world celebrates the birth of the Jesus Christ, a symbol of love and peace, and such hostile action proves once again continuation of the "Israeli" occupation authorities in practicing state terrorism, which has increased in recent times, especially after the failure of its attacks and conspiracies, with the aim of prolonging the crisis in Syria by backing the armed terrorist groups, its partners in terrorism."
