Syria's transition government condemns 'Israeli aggression' in letter to UN

Syria's transition government has made its first complaint to the United Nation's over Israel's seizure of Syrian territory and attacks 

Syria's new government said the land grab was a "serious violation" of a 1974 armistice agreement between Israel and Syria. The letter also rebuked Israel for air strikes across the country. 

"The Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms this Israeli aggression," the letter said.

Israeli troops moved into a UN-designated buffer zone between Syria and Israel after the Bashar al-Assad government was toppled and began a widescale bombing campaign to destroy Syria's military. 

Arab states, including Egypt and Qatar, condemned the land grab and strikes.
