Syria said it reserves the right to respond to occasionally-deadly attacks by the Israeli, Turkish, and American forces against its territory and citizens.
In a letter to United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Syrian Foreign Ministry denounced an Israeli attack near Damascus, the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Wednesday.
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.”
