Damascus: Israel's terrorist aggression against civilian infrastructure violates international law

Syria has condemned in the strongest terms the latest missile attack by the Israeli regime against the Arab country's civilian infrastructure, which temporarily put the Damascus International Airport out of service.

"Syria condemns the Israeli terrorist aggression against the civilian infrastructure,” the country's Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said on Monday in letters addressed to the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the president of the world body's Security Council, the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

The Ministry added that Israel's act of aggression against Syria, "violates both international law and international humanitarian law."

This came after earlier the same day, Israel launched a fresh missile strike against the Damascus airport, targeting its civilian facilities and surroundings.

A military source told the news agency that Syria’s air defenses intercepted most of the incoming missiles, which had been launched from the direction of Lake Tiberias.

Two Syrian soldiers died and two others were wounded as a result of the attack, which also inflicted material damage on the airport, disrupting its operations.

Elsewhere in its letters, the Ministry said Israel's aggression on the civilian airport was nothing, but an extension of the occupying regime's crimes.

It urged the Security Council to condemn the Israeli crimes and aggression, and move immediately to punish their perpetrators.
