Damascus, Mar 6 (Prensa Latina) The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Monday the continuous Israeli aggressive practices against the Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights occupied since 1967.

It asserted that this project aims to seize more than 600 hectares of agricultural land to impose the Israeli entity and displace the Golan citizens.

The ministry asserted that these practices violate international law and the UN resolutions, especially Security Council Resolution No. 497 of 1981.

The institution also stressed that the occupied Golan Heights is an integral part of its territory and will work to restore every grain of its land by all available means.

Israel occupied the Golan Heights after the so-called Six-Day War in 1967 and incorporated that territory into its legal system in 1981, which was rejected by the international community.
