The representative of Iraq at the United Nations said that 50 Israeli fighter jets violated the Iraqi airspace shortly before a UN meeting between Israel and Iran, reports Reuters, taken over by News.ro.
Abbas Kadhom Obaid al-Fatlawi, in charge of the UN Iraq's mission, told the UN Security Council that the aircraft came from the border area between Syria and Jordan.
“Twenty aircraft took off, followed by another 30, which turned to the south of Iraq and overcome the cities of Basra, Najaf and Karbala,” he said.
“These violations are non -observations of international law and UN Charter,” he said, adding: “They also represent a threat to sacred places and regions, which could cause strong folk reactions, given the importance of these holy places for our peoples.”
