The United Nation's Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted in statement released on Thursday reports of "Israeli" air strikes in Syria and called on all concerned to prevent an escalation of tensions in the region.
The Syrian army stated on Wednesday that "Israeli" fighter jets carried out a direct strike on a scientific research center in Jamraya, north-west of Damascus, killing two people and wounding five.

"The Secretary-General notes with grave concern reports of "Israeli" air strikes in Syria," mentioned a statement issued by Ban's office.
"The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to prevent tensions or their escalation in the region, and to strictly abide by international law, in particular in respect of territorial integrity and sovereignty of all countries in the region," the Secretary General stressed.

"UNDOF (United Nation Disengagement Observer Force) did not observe any planes flying over the area of separation and therefore was not able to confirm the incident," Eduardo Del Buey, deputy spokesperson for the Secretary-General, told reporters in New York.
