In a letter to United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the UN Security Council on Wednesday, the ministry denounced an Israeli attack near Damascus, the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
Earlier in the day, the Israeli military conducted a missile attack against the Syrian capital of Damascus’ countryside, killing four soldiers, wounding three others, and causing some material damage.
The ministry censured the attack as “blatant and cowardly aggression,” calling on the UN General Secretariat and Security Council “to condemn the Israeli crimes and demand their cessation and respect (for) the relevant Security Council resolutions,” the agency reported.
The attack “coincided with the continuous attacks perpetrated by the US and Turkish occupation forces on Syrian citizens and Syrian lands.”
These attacks, it added, were being conducted “in support of terrorist groups,” and were therefore threatening to “prolong the war in Syria.”
The Israeli regime’s attacks on Syria started to grow significantly in scale and frequency after 2011, when Syria found itself in the grip of rampant foreign-backed terrorism.
The regime would, meanwhile, provide safe passage and medical treatment to the Takfiri terrorists that could flee the Syrian military’s operations into Syria’s Golan Heights that has been under Tel Aviv’s occupation since 1967.
