Foreign Ministry: The Israeli Occupation’s Persistence in its criminal attacks is evidence of its defeat and hysteria 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates confirmed that the persistence of the Israeli occupation entity in its criminal attacks is further evidence of its defeat and its increasing hysteria it feels as a result of Syria’s steadfastness in the face of all attempts to weaken it and divert it from its approach of supporting the Palestinian people to liberate their land.

The Ministry said in a statement to SANA:” for the third time in a row and within about one week, at 5:25 a.m, Sunday, October 22, the usurping Zionist entity launched an air aggression with bursts of missiles from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea and  Syrian occupied Golan, targeting two airports, Damascus and Aleppo International Airports, which led to the martyrdom of a civilian worker at Damascus Airport, the injury of another, and the infliction of material damage to the two airports’ runways, which led to them being out of service again after they were repaired following the recent aggression and the resumption of civilian air traffic in them”.

The ministry added: “Israel’s persistence in its criminal attacks is further evidence of its defeat and the increasing hysteria it feels as a result of Syria’s steadfastness in the face of all attempts made by Israel and terrorist forces to weaken it and divert it from its approach of supporting the Palestinian people to liberate their land, and the Syrian’s insistence on its right to restore the occupied Syrian Golan and its tolerance of inhuman and immoral unilateral coercive measures imposed by the Western countries on the Syrian people.  To all Israel crimes has been added the actions it committed that represent war crimes and crimes against humanity during its devastating war against the steadfast people of Gaza” .

The Foreign Ministry continued: “Israel’s sponsors have proven once again over the past days that international law and its covenants for them are nothing but a tool that they harness to achieve their colonial plans and employ it as they please to target any country under false pretenses and false claims.  They also use it as a means to cover up described war crimes, crimes against humanity, and documented atrocities that have been committed by the Israeli occupation authorities and have been continuing for decades.”

The Ministry concluded by saying: “The Syrian Arab Republic warns of the consequences of continuing these attacks and practices that violate international law and international humanitarian law, which would plunge the region into a wider spiral of violence that will be difficult to contain.”
