| [ALMASDARNEWS] Israel is claiming that the Iranian missile fired into the occupied Golan Heights earlier this year had violated international law. The missile used was a "medium-range surface-to-surface missile" that was allegedly transferred from Iran to Syria after January 2016; this is a violation of Annex B of the UN Security Council Resolution 2231, the Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said on April 4th, as reported by IHS Janes. According to Danon, the Iranian missile allegedly "flew no less than 60 km" and was equipped with a "precise warhead". "The [Security] Council must take responsibility for stopping these activities that continue to jeopardize the safety and security of our region," Danon said in the letter. As stipulated in UN Resolution 2231, Iran is prohibited from transferring any military equipment to a foreign country. The attack that took place on January 20th was carried out by the Syrian Arab Army in retaliation for an Israeli projectile that targeted the western part of the country. |
