Syria makes formal complaint at UN over alleged Israeli attack

Syria has made a formal complaint at the UN over an airstrike inside the country blamed on Israel, the Euronews TV channel reports.

There is confusion over what was actually hit. Syrian state television reports that two people were killed and five injured in the strike against a research centre in Jamraya near Syria’s border with Lebanon.

US officials say what was struck was a convoy carrying weapons to Lebanon for militant group Hezbollah.

The bombing has drawn criticism from Russia. The Kremlin called the alleged attack “unacceptable” if it was carried out by the Israeli Defence Force.
