On Friday, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, stated that Moscow strongly condemns Israeli strikes targeting Syria, deeming them unacceptable and provocative.
"We strongly condemn these provocative military actions, which can lead to extremely dangerous consequences in the context of a sharp deterioration of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone," the spokeswoman said in a statement while also calling Israeli actions "unacceptable."

وقد صدع رؤوسنا المقبور حافظ الأسد وبعده بشار بالتفاخر بالحليف الروسي والإيراني
وصواريخ S400 وبارجات وحاملات طائرات روسية..

In addition to the number of martyrs, the Syrian Ministry of Defense said that the aggression was carried out on multiple sites across the city and resulted in extensive amounts of material damage.
The Ministry further said that the aggression coincided with a drone attack carried out by terrorist organizations from Idlib and the western countryside of Aleppo.
Forty people, including five members of Hezbollah, were martyred in the attacks, Reuters reported, citing two security sources.
The attacks took place at about 1:45 am on Friday while the Israeli airstrike originated from Athriya, southeast of Aleppo Governorate.
Shortly before this aggression, Syrian news agencies on Thursday reported that two civilians sustained injuries in a residential building in the countryside of Damascus due to an Israeli attack.
