DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – Two civilians have been injured due to a Zionist shelling targeting a site in the Quneitra suburb in Syria, according to Syrian officials.
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) confirmed that: “Two civilians were wounded when a tank belonging to the Israeli occupation forces fired two shells near the village of al-Hamidiyah.”
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the Zionist troops used military tank shells to target al-Hamidiyah in the Quneitra countryside, which led to the injuries of two people, who have not yet been identified.
According to SOHR sources, a Zionist tank fired three shells when the two people approached the disengagement zone.
On 7 July, SOHR reported that a Zionist drone targeted an individual from the town of Hader in the northern countryside of Quneitra, resulting in his immediate death.
Emboldened by the inaction of international organizations, the Zionist regime frequently targets positions in Syria, not least those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.
The occupying regime has been the principal supporter of terrorist groups operating in Syria.
In one of the latest attacks on Syria, the occupying regime targeted areas near Damascus on July 22, killing three soldiers and wounding seven others.
Bassam Sabbagh, Syria’s permanent representative to the United Nations, slammed the “unacceptable” silence of the UN Security Council and the West’s support for Zionist aggression.
“The Israeli regime presses ahead with its hostile practices in order to consolidate its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, and prolong its authority in violation of international principles and resolutions,” Sabbagh said while addressing a Security Council session in late July.
He called on the world body to help end the occupation and hold the Tel Aviv regime responsible for its vicious behavior.
“Syria reiterates its inalienable right to fully take back occupied Golan Heights by means of all available means guaranteed by the international law,” Sabbagh stated.
