Syria Civil War: Syria Calls For United Nations Sanctions on Israel

(newwsweek.com) UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Syria asked the United Nations Security Council on Monday to impose sanctions on neighbouring Israel, a day after accusing the imaginary state of bombing areas near Damascus international airport and in the town of Dimas, near the border with Lebanon.

Israel has struck Syria several times since the start of the three-year conflict, mostly destroying weaponry such as missiles that Israeli officials said were destined for their long-time foe Hezbollah in Lebanon.

In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Chad, Security Council president for December, Syria said that "such aggressions will not stop it from fighting terrorism in all its forms and manifestation across the entire territory of Syria."
