In a letter to United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the UN Security Council on Wednesday, the ministry denounced an Israeli attack near Damascus, the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported. The ministry censured the attack as "blatant and cowardly aggression," calling on the UN General Secretariat and Security Council "to condemn the Israeli crimes and demand their cessation and respect (for) the relevant Security Council resolutions," the agency reported. The attack "coincided with the continuous attacks perpetrated by the US and Turkish occupation forces on Syrian citizens and Syrian lands." The Israeli regime's attacks on Syria started to grow significantly in scale and frequency after 2011, when Syria found itself in the grip of rampant foreign-backed terrorism. Washington has refused to withdraw its forces from Syria, although Damascus and its allies defeated Daesh in late 2017.
