DAMASCUS, Jul 23 (NNN-SANA) – The Syrian Foreign Ministry, yesterday, urged the UN Security Council, to condemn the repeated Israeli missile strikes on Syria, particularly the latest one that killed three soldiers, after midnight yesterday.
In a statement, the ministry said, the UN should shoulder its responsibility in condemning the attacks and exert pressure on the Israeli regime to abide by The Agreement on Disengagement, reached in Geneva in 1947, which stipulates in its first paragraph, a cease-fire on land, sea, and air between Syria and the Israeli regime.
The statement said, Syria preserves its right to respond to the Israeli strikes, by the appropriate means, in accordance with international law and the UN charter.
The statement came, in wake of the Israeli missile strike that was carried out after midnight yesterday, targeting military sites in the capital, Damascus, which killed three soldiers and wounded seven others.
A Syrian military statement, issued after the strike, indicated that, the missiles were fired by Israeli forces from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, targeting military sites in the vicinity of the capital Damascus.
It said, the Syrian air defences intercepted most of the missiles before reaching their targets.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said, the Israeli missiles targeted Air Force Intelligence offices, a high-ranking officer’s office, and a car in the area of the Mezzeh Military Airport, west of Damascus.
The strike was the 18th on Syrian territory, since the beginning of 2022.
The Israeli regime has repeatedly targeted Syrian military sites, during the 11-year Syrian civil war, under the pretext of targeting pro-Iran militias.– NNN-SANA
