Earlier this month, the Russian military reported that several Israeli fighter jets carried out a missile attack in the Syrian province of Latakia. The attacks were said to have caused minor damage to civilian infrastructure.
According to a statement by the Syrian Foreign Ministry, cited by SANA soon after the shelling, Israel's regular attacks on Syrian territory is a violation of international law, as well as the UN Charter.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Arab Republic, Faisal Mikdad, in a message sent to UN Secretary General António Guterres, also stressed that "Syria retains the legitimate right to respond to Israeli missile attacks at the right time."
