The Russian Foreign Ministry is demanding “explanations” from Israel, of reports that its Air Force bombed several targets near Damascus, including targets near the Damascus international airport.
Moscow sent an official letter of complaint to UN Secretary-General Ban-ki Moon, condemning “Israeli aggression” and urging that such actions be curbed in the future.
