"MOFA affirms that the recurring Israeli attacks, especially the systematic targeting of civilian targets in Syria, the latest of which was Aleppo International Airport, amounts to a crime of aggression and a war crime under international law. Israel must be held accountable," the ministry said on Twitter.
The ministry added that Israel threatens the peace and security of the region, and endangers the lives of civilians and the safety of civil aviation. Syria will defend its territory and people by all necessary means, the ministry said.
