Syria's information minister says those who infringe on Syria's sovereignty must "study their choices carefully." He said that Israel has "proved its link to terrorist groups." Israel has reportedly carried out a second air strike on Israel in two days.
In a Sunday statement, Omran al-Zoabi added that it is Damascus' duty to "protect the state from any domestic or foreign attack through all available means."
The minister's comments came after an emergency cabinet meeting organized to respond to what a Western source called a new strike on Iranian missiles bound for Lebanon's Hezbollah, Reuters reported.
The Arab League has condemned the alleged strike on Syria and urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to act, reports Lebanon's Naharnet news outlet. This follows reports of condemnation from Egyptian, Lebanese and Iranian leaders.
The country's Foreign Ministry sent a letter to the UN and the UN Security Council protesting "Israeli aggression" that killed and wounded several people and "caused widespread destruction." It also said the attacks aimed "to give direct military support to terrorist groups " fighting the government.
