Syria summons UN cmdr over Israel raid

The head of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), Major General Iqbal Singha, was called to the Foreign Ministry on Thursday, where the protest was delivered.

According to a Syrian Army statement, Israeli fighter jets violated Syrian airspace in the early hours of Wednesday and carried out a direct strike on a scientific research center in Jamraya.

Two people were killed and five others were injured in the raid, which came after several failed attempts made by terrorist groups in the past months to take control of the site, the army statement noted.

Damascus condemned the attack as a violation of a 1974 disengagement accord that followed the last major war between the Arab country and the Israeli regime.


Earlier on Thursday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry expressed deep concerns about the incident, which it described as “unacceptable.”

“If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked strikes against targets located on the territory of a sovereign state, which brazenly infringes on the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motive used for its justification,” it said.
