英闻天下——223 UN Unable to Verify Israel's Air Strike(在线收听

   United Nations peacekeepers in the demilitarized zone between Syria and Israel say they've so-far been unable to verify a Syrian complaint that Israeli planes flew over the Golan Heights to carry out an air strike near Damascus.

 
  Eduardo del Buey is a spokesperson for the UN Secretary General.
 
  "UNDOF did not observe any planes flying over the area of separation and therefore was not able to confirm the incident. UNDOF also reported bad weather conditions,"
 
  Syria has filed an official complaint to the UN over the Israeli attack, which has reportedly targeted a Syrian military research center on the outskirts of Damascus.
 
  The Syrian side says the air strike left 2 dead and 5 others hurt.
 
  The Syrian government is blasting the Israeli attack as a "flagrant intervention" of Syrian airspace, accusing Israel of being behind "terrorist acts" committed in Syria.
 
  The Israeli side is refusing to comment.
 
  The Iranian Foreign Ministry has "strongly" condemned the airstrike, saying Israel is seeking to create insecurity and instability in the region.
 
  Iran has been on record saying any Israeli strike into Syria would be the same as a strike in Iran.
 
  Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 war.
 
  Syrian troops are not allowed in the area of separation.
 
  For more on the situation in the region, Paul James spoke earlier with Hua Liming, China's former Ambassador to Iran.
