DAMASCUS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st January, 2019) The Syrian Foreign Ministry has notified the United Nations that the Israeli airstrikes against Syria are possible only with US support and with immunity "silently" approved by some other members of the UN Security Council, the ministry's press service said Monday.

Israel delivered early Monday a total of three airstrikes on Iranian weapons storage facilities in Syria and several air defense units that responded to initial attacks by Israeli combat planes. At least four Syrian servicemen were killed and another six were wounded in the airstrikes.

"Such attacks are possible only thanks to the unlimited support provided by the US administration, the immunity from investigations extended to Israel by a number of countries in the UN Security Council, as well as the complete silence regime that these countries have imposed in the UN Security Council to prevent this body from fulfilling its role in repelling these criminal attacks," the ministry said in letters sent to the UN Secretary General and the UNSC President.

According to the pres service, the ministry once again demanded that the UN take immediate measures to prevent future Israeli attacks.
