                                                <p>On Tuesday, the 
Iranian Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani strongly 
condemned an Israeli attack on Syria's Aleppo International Airport as a
 "crime against humanity."</p>                                                  
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                 
<p>Israel targeted the civil 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.</p>                                                 
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>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.</p>                                                     
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>The attack damaged 
the Aleppo airport's runway and took it out of service. 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.</p>                                                   
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                 
<p>As a result of the damage caused to the runway, the Syrian Civil 
Aviation authorities diverted planes providing assistance to those 
affected by the earthquakes to Damascus and Latakia.</p>                                                  
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>The Transport 
Ministry announced that technical teams are inspecting the airport 
facilities to determine the extent of the damage and repair the 
infrastructure affected by the attack.</p>                                                        
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>The Syrian 
Observatory for Human Rights recalled that the Aleppo airport had 
already been the target of another missile attack in September 2022. On 
that occasion, the impact caused significant material damage and forced 
the suspension of air traffic temporarily.</p>                                                    
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>So far this year, 
Israel has attacked Syrian territory on at least four occasions. Its 
authorities have justified these actions by arguing that Syria harbors 
Lebanese and Iranian armed groups.<br> </p>
