Israel to UN: Denounce Iran for Perpetrating Missile Attacks from Syria
(Israel Mission to the UN) Israeli Amb. Ron Prosor told the UN on Friday: On Thursday, four rockets were fired from Syrian territory and struck in Israel. This was an indiscriminate and premeditated terrorist attack against Israeli territory without any provocation from the Israeli side. The launching of these rockets is not a spillover from the ongoing war in Syria, but a deliberate attack on Israel. We have credible information that the attack was directed by Iran. The ink has not yet dried on the nuclear agreement, and Iran has already provided a clear indication that it will continue to act to destabilize the region. These acts offer a clear indication that Iran cannot be trusted to meet its commitments under the deal. I call on the Security Council to publicly condemn these attacks and to denounce Iran for its active and direct role in perpetrating acts of terror throughout the region. Just as this attack is not business as usual, your response to it cannot be the usual call for both sides to show restraint. This deliberate and unprovoked attack is the act of one side, and one side only.
