Security Council Meets in Emergency Session Following Israeli Air Strike Against Syria

5 October 2003

The Security Council met in an emergency session this afternoon, at Syria's request, following an Israeli air strike against that country earlier today. The Israeli air strike fell near a Syrian village, Ain Al Sahib, to the north-west of the capital of Damascus. The strikes followed the suicide bombing yesterday at a restaurant in the seaside town of Haifa, Israel, which killed 19 Israelis.
