Russia demanded an explanation from Israel for the destruction of Damascus International Airport.

At least seven IDF missile attacks on Damascus International Airport have angered the Russian side. According to the Israeli publication Haaretz, Russia demanded an explanation from Israel for the strikes on Damascus International Airport, which led to a complete shutdown of the air harbor due to the partially destroyed airport terminal and 6 huge craters on the runways of the air harbor, with a diameter of about 8 meters .

“After the strike attributed to Israel, which caused massive damage to the airport in the Syrian capital, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia said that the ambassador’s explanation “appears unconvincing.” Russia summoned Israeli Ambassador Alexander Ben Zvi on Wednesday, expressing "grave concern" over an airstrike on a Syrian airport last week attributed to Israel. Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, special envoy to the Middle East Mikhail Bogdanov said that the reasons he received for the attack on Damascus International Airport "seem unconvincing" and that they are waiting for further clarification, in particular regarding the joint Russian-Israeli mechanism to prevent serious incidents ", - reports the Israeli edition of "Haaretz".

Earlier, the Russian side criticized the Israeli aggression in Syria. However, there are unconfirmed reports that during the latest strikes, Israel did not warn Russia of its plans to carry out strikes, thus violating the agreements between Jerusalem and Moscow.

According to a number of data, the current Israeli strike on Syria was the 15th since the beginning of this year. At the same time, judging by the fact that seven missiles hit their targets, it was probably the most effective.
