TEHRAN, March 7 (Xinhua) — The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman on Tuesday 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 on Tuesday 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 organizations have remained silent in the face of continued “brutal and inhumane” Israeli attacks on Syria.

The Tuesday 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 northwestern Syria on Feb. 6. Enditem
