RNA - The Syrian Foreign Ministry addressed two letters to the UN Secretary General and Chairman of the Security Council (UNSC) complaining about the Israeli forces' attack on a copper factory in Hassyah industrial zone in Homs province, SANA reported.

The ministry said that Israeli aircrafts fired four missiles, from the Lebanese airspace, at a copper factory in Hassyah industrial zone in Homs province at 21:25 PM on Wednesday.

It added that the Israeli continued attacks on the Syrian Arab Republic comes in response to the great victories achieved by the Syrian Army against terrorist groups, particularly Al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at or the Levant Liberation Board) and ISIL, noting that these attacks are a systematic behavior of the occupation authorities in order to protect terrorists and to raise their morale after their collapse in most of Syrian territory.

The ministry went on to say that Damascus reiterates warning against the continuation of such attacks against Syrian civilians and their properties, adding that the army and its allies are engaged in the fight against terrorism.

“The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic calls upon the UNSC to condemn the blatant Israeli aggressions and calls on the international organization to adopt firm and immediate measures to stop those attacks and hold Israel accountable for its support to terrorism which would inflame the situation in the region and the world,” the ministry said.
