Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged the United Nations to intervene after Israeli air strikes south of Damascus reportedly killed two people and injured five others. A human rights monitor confirmed the casualties, and Syrian state news agency SANA, citing a military source, reported that the strikes occurred around 5:18 p.m. local time on Monday. According to the source, Israeli warplanes targeted “civilian sites south of Damascus” from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, causing significant material damage.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes, calling them “criminal” acts against civilian areas. In its statement, the ministry labeled Israel’s actions as aggression by the “Zionist entity” and called upon UN member states to take immediate measures to “halt Israeli aggression” and ensure accountability for what it described as violations of Syria’s sovereignty.
