Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates described the recent Israeli aggression against Aleppo as one in a pattern of recurrent aggressions by "Israel" against civilian and vital targets including the Damascus international airport, Lattakia commercial port, and other civilian sites.

“Those Israeli hostile policies are nothing but disparate attempts to shuffle cards of the region and confuse the diplomatic current movement, this movement which aims to restore security and stability to the region,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

In a statement, the ministry expressed its severe condemnations of the aggression which resulted in the martyrdom of one soldier and the injury of seven others including two civilians. The ministry also warned "Israel" against continuing these attacks and called upon the United Nations and the Security Council to assume their responsibility to put an end to Israel's hostile policies.

Furthermore, Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov, the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria reported on the Israeli aggression which killed a Syrian soldier.

"On May 1, from 23.32 to 23.37, two tactical fighters F-16 of the Israeli Air Force launched missile and bomb attacks on civilian infrastructure in the province of Aleppo. As a result of the strike, the runway of the international airport was out of service, one person was killed, and seven were injured."
