Russia Strongly Condemns Israeli Airstrike on Damascus Airport
A military source told Syrian media that Israel carried out an act of "aerial aggression" on Friday morning, targeting unspecified facilities south of Damascus. The attack was said to have injured one civilian and caused material damage, with most rockets shot down by local air defences. Israel, as usual, has not commented on the strike.
Moscow "strongly condemns" Israel's act of aerial aggression against Damascus International Airport and demands that Tel Aviv stop the "vicious practice", Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
💬 "In connection with this [attack], we are forced to reiterate once again that the ongoing shelling of Syrian territory, in violation of the basic norms of international law, is absolutely unacceptable. We strongly condemn Israel's provocative attack on this extremely significant piece of Syrian civilian infrastructure." "Such irresponsible actions create serious risks to international air traffic and put the lives of innocent people in grave danger. We demand that the Israeli side stop this vicious practice."
