Alwaght- Syria asked the United Nations Security Council on Monday to impose sanctions on Israeli regime, a day after bombing areas near Damascus international airport and in the town of Dimas, near the border with Lebanon, Reuter reports.
Israeli regime has struck Syria several times since the start of the three-year crisis.
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 ."
"At the same time, the Syrian Arab Republic calls on the international community and the Security Council to shoulder their responsibility and forcefully condemn this brutal attack and to cease covering it up under any pretext," the letter read .
"Syria also calls for the imposition of stern sanctions against Israeli regime ... and requests that all measures prescribed under the Charter of the United Nations should be taken to prevent Israeli regime from again committing such aggressions," it said .
Syria believes that Israeli regime's air strikes aims at "cover up internal Israeli divisions and draw attention away from the collapse of the Israeli coalition Government and Israel's extreme policies, particularly its continued occupation of Arab territory ."
Israeli regime has repeatedly attacked Syrian and Lebanese targets throughout the Syrian crisis, though it rarely issues any specific statements about them.
