The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates confirmed that the repeated Israeli attacks on Syrian civilian airports constitute a threat to peace and security in the region and the world, calling on the UN bodies to assume their responsibilities in condemning and stopping these attacks and ensuring that they are not repeated.

“At about 16:50 on Sunday, the Israeli occupation forces launched an air attack with missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting Damascus International Airport and some areas in Damascus countryside, putting the airport out of service once again, only hours after it was rerun, as well as disrupting the humanitarian work of the UN by stopping its humanitarian air services in Syria.” the Ministry explained in a statement.

The ministry added: “These Israeli aggressions during the last two months are linked to the brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip, which can only be considered a war crime and a crime against humanity.
