Syria condemns Israeli incursions, urges UN action as Arab parliament backs sovereignty
DAMASCUS: Syria condemned what it described as fresh Israeli attacks and incursions into its territory and called on the United Nations and the international community to intervene to stop repeated violations of its sovereignty, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Sunday.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry said Israeli forces had entered Syrian territory in the southern provinces of Quneitra and Daraa and shelled parts of the area, actions that it said terrorized civilians and constituted a flagrant violation of Syrian sovereignty, international law, the UN Charter and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
In a statement carried by SANA, the ministry said the continued attacks undermine efforts to restore security and stability, exacerbate the suffering of civilians and threaten to further escalate tensions in the region.
The ministry called on the United Nations and the broader international community to assume their responsibilities and take necessary measures to halt what it described as repeated Israeli violations and ensure respect for the 1974 agreement governing the ceasefire line on the occupied Golan Heights.
