“Such actions create serious risks for international civil air traffic.
Not to mention the fact that the ongoing attacks on Syrian military facilities lead to a decrease in the combat potential of the SAR Armed Forces and negatively affect the effectiveness of the efforts undertaken by the Syrians and their allies to eliminate the terrorist presence in this country, ”the Foreign Ministry said in a comment.
Moscow opposes the transformation of Syria into an arena of armed confrontation between third countries and calls on the Israeli side to "refrain from such military actions."
On the night of February 9, Israeli fighters fired several guided missiles at targets in the Damascus province, after which ten surface-to-surface missiles were fired by Israel from the occupied Golan Heights at Syrian air defense positions.
As a result of the shelling, one Syrian soldier was killed and five wounded.
