The Council described the attack as a "flagrant violation of the Charter", and urged Member States to take measures to prevent such attacks occurring against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all States. It also confirmed its determination to take appropriate steps to implement the current resolution, requesting the Secretary-General to report urgently to the Council any new developments in the situation.

The resolution, which did not explicitly implicate Israel in the attack, was adopted by 14 votes to none, with one abstention from the United States.
