On Thursday evening, Israeli aircraft carried out massive strikes on air bases in Hama and T-4 in Homs, as well as on the building of a scientific research center in Damascus. There were also reports of Israeli air and artillery strikes in southern Syria.
"The Syrian Foreign Ministry strongly condemns the latest wave of Israeli aggression. In blatant violation of international law, Israeli forces carried out airstrikes on five areas in different parts of the country within 30 minutes. As a result of one of the bombings, the air base in Hama was almost completely destroyed," the statement said.
Dozens of civilians and servicemen were injured in Israeli airstrikes in Hama, according to the Syrian Foreign Ministry.
The ministry called on the international community to take a firm stance and put pressure on Israel to stop aggression and comply with international law.
