TEHRAN, Mar 8 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, yesterday, strongly condemned an Israeli attack on Syria’s Aleppo International Airport, as a “crime against humanity.”
Nasser Kanaani made the remarks in a statement, published on the ministry’s website, reacting to an air raid by Israel on the civil airport yesterday morning.
Israel targeted the city’s airport, the main route for the delivery of international humanitarian aid to the Syrian city, when the quake-stricken people in Aleppo are still under tough circumstances, he said.
Slamming the attack as a flagrant case of “crimes against humanity,” Kanaani regretted that some countries, as well as, Western and human rights organisations, have remained silent in the face of continued “brutal and inhumane” Israeli attacks on Syria.
Yesterday’s attack has damaged the Aleppo airport’s runway and taken it out of service, according to the state-run SANA news agency.
Already, heavily destructed as a result of the years-long war in Syria, Aleppo has also suffered considerable damage, in the deadly earthquakes that hit southern Türkiye and north-western Syria on Feb 6.– NNN-IRNA
