DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime carried out air strikes overnight in the southern Syrian province of Quneitra, Syrian state media and a UK-based activist group said Thursday, though there were no reports of casualties.
The strikes came a day after Syria said one civilian was killed and six others injured during similar attacks in the northwestern region of Latakia.
Syria’s state news agency SANA said there had been "an Israeli attack led by a helicopter in one of Quneitra’s zones” not far from the occupied territories.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported there had been "Israeli strikes”.
The Observatory, which relies on a network of sources on the ground, said the strikes targeted the Syrian Army’s 90th Brigade and military positions in north Quneitra, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The occupying regime, which rarely confirms such strikes, has escalated in recent months its offensives inside Syria.
Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Bassam Sabbagh says the regime’s repeated attacks against his country’s territory, sovereignty and independence threaten regional stability as well as international peace and security.
Sabbagh, in two identical letters addressed to the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, and rotating President of the UN Security Council Zhang Jun on Thursday, stated that the Zionist regime’s military has committed new attacks against Syrian lands.
Sabbagh said the two assaults are in flagrant violation of the international law, the UN Charter, Security Council Resolution 350 (1974) and the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement between the occupying regime and Syria.
The Syrian envoy pointed out that the regime authorities enjoy full protection offered by certain permanent member states of the Security Council, which encourages the regime to press ahead with its aggression, occupation and incessant violations of the international law, and which poses a serious threat to regional and international peace and security.
