"Syria will not put up with the attacks of the Zionist aggressor (Israel), who is playing with fire. Sooner or later he will pay for his crimes," said the number one diplomat of Damascus.

In the words of the minister: the USA is responsible for the continuation of Israeli aggression, which is a threat to peace not only in the Middle East, but also in the whole world.

Earlier, a spokesman for the Russian military stationed in Syria said that five Syrian servicemen were injured in the alleged attack by the Israeli armed forces.

"Radar of the air defense system and warehouses with military equipment were destroyed," he added.
