The corresponding statement was published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“In the early morning of June 10, the Israeli Air Force once again attacked the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic.
The target of the attack was Damascus International Airport.
According to incoming information, serious material damage was caused to the airfield, ”she noted.
The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry clarified that the runway was damaged, the restoration of which, according to Syrian technical services, may require considerable time.
As a result, the SAR Ministry of Transport even announced the suspension of all flights through the airfield.
“In this regard, we are forced to emphasize again that the ongoing Israeli shelling of the territory of the SAR, in violation of the basic norms of international law, is absolutely unacceptable.
We strongly condemn Israel's provocative attack on the most important object of the Syrian civilian infrastructure... We demand that the Israeli side stop this vicious practice," Zakharova stressed.
In May, it was reported that Israeli F-16 fighter jets fired 22 missiles at a Syrian scientific center near the city of Masyaf (Hama Governorate), as well as at the port of Baniyas (Tartus Governorate).
