During their meeting, which was held at the [Syrian] Ministry of Information building in Damascus, Abd Al-Hadi briefed the Syrian minister of information on the Israeli aggression against the members of our people in the Gaza Strip, which constitutes an additional war crime in the series of war crimes that the occupation is committing against our people…
