Moscow condemned the Israeli airstrike on Damascus International Airport and has called on "Israel" to put an end to the aggression, said the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova. 

On Thursday, the Syrian Ministry of Defense said that "Israel" has fired missiles at a number of targets south of Damascus, asserting that the Israeli warplanes aimed to hit the airport.

"In this regard, we are forced to emphasize again that the ongoing Israeli shelling of the Syria territory … is absolutely unacceptable. We strongly condemn Israel's provocative attack on critical Syrian civilian infrastructure," the spokeswoman said in a statement, published by the ministry. 

Such strikes, according to Zakharova, are creating risks "for international air traffic."

Citing sources, Al Mayadeen correspondent said Friday that the Damascus International Airport is expected to resume its operations within 48 hours, after ensuring the safety of the technical equipment and operational movement.

Our correspondent added that communication equipment and towers at the Damascus International Airport were damaged as a result of repeated Israeli aggression, the latest of which was this morning in the vicinity of the airport.

Earlier, Syrian state media reported the Israeli strikes on southern Damascus, adding that a barrage of missiles was launched from the occupied Golan Heights at around 4:20 a.m. (0120 GMT).
