Syria urges UN security council to press Israel to stop aggression

Syrian has urged the UN Security council to shoulder its responsibilities towards stopping Israeli aggression on its soil. This came in two identical letters from the Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Ministry addressed to the UN Security Council President and the UN Secretary General, clarifying that on Sunday May 5th, 2013, Israeli warplanes carried out an air missile attack from the occupied territories and southern Lebanon on three sites of the Armed Forces in Syria, namely in the northeast of Jamraya, in Maysaloun and at a paragliding airport in Al-Dimas area in Damascus and its countryside, resulting in a number of dead and injured people and caused widespread destruction in these sites and the civilian areas around them. The two letters stated that “Israel’s continuation to carry out its aggressive acts would increase tension in the region and drag it into a large-scale regional war that would threaten peace and security in the region and the world.”
