News - Middle East: The Shura Council on Wednesday strongly condemned an Israeli attack on Syria's Aleppo International Airport, which caused Aleppo International Airport to go out of service.

Head of the Council, Mohammad al-Aidarous, considered this targeting an organized crime and a blatant assault against the besieged Syrian people, with the aim of preventing humanitarian aid from reaching the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck the country recently.

Slamming the attack as a flagrant case of "crimes against humanity," the council 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 council held the Security Council, the United Nations, the international community, and international and humanitarian organizations responsible for these blatantly hostile and provocative actions, which are inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations and all international norms and covenants.

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.

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.
