Russia demands that Israel stop bombing Syria
TASS reports, quoting the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergey Vershinin that Moscow consider Israel’s strikes against Syrian targets unacceptable and demanded they stop.
According to the diplomat, Israel’s attacks “add to the destabilization of the situation” and “nobody should do anything in Syria that does not support antiterrorist goals.”
“Concerning the latest Israeli attacks, we stated that such arbitrary attacks on Syrian sovereign territory must be stopped and prevented. Speaking generally about on raids and attacks, I note that we have a steady communication with Israel to ensure military de-escalation. The line of communication has been active not for one year, but more; we are improving it,” Vershinin noted.
According to the Syrian news agency SANA, the last Israeli air raid was on January 20th. As a result, four Syrian soldiers were killed, six were injured, and Damascus airport was damaged.
