Moscow: Russia is extremely annoyed over the airstrike in the Tartus region of Syria in the last week. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova lashed out at Israel without mentioning it. She said Russia has denounced the irresponsible action violating Syrian sovereignty and international regulations. These airstrikes must stop unconditionally. This is the second warning over airstrikes in Syria issued by Russia to Israel in the last two months.
An airstrike was carried out on Saturday morning in the coastal region in the city of Tartus. Two citizens were injured in the attack at Al-Hamidiya in South Tartus and the Syrian mouthpiece accused that the civic facilities suffered massive damages. Besides, Syria has accused that the airstrike was carried out by Israeli fighter jets.
Moreover, Israel did not react to the accusations. But the Israeli media carried reports of the attack. Israeli media claimed that the Iranian air defence system deployed in the Al-Hamidiya area was destroyed in the attack.
An intense reaction has been received from Russia over the attack. Maria Zakharova, the Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, issued a warning to Israel without a direct mention. Zakharova also warned that such airstrikes in Syria would not be tolerated. Russia has a naval base in the Tartus area. Russia also has an air base in the coastal region. Hence, it is claimed that this is a natural reaction from Russia.
Furthermore, crushing attacks had been carried out on the Damascus international airport in Syria in the last month. 
Russia had lashed out at Israel after this attack. Therefore, Russia and Israel seem to be confronting each other over the attacks in Syria. Earlier, Russia had reprimanded Israel over the weapons supply to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had remarked that supplying weapons to a leader like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was like supplying weapons to Hitler. A vitriolic reaction had been received from Israel over the remark. Even though Russian President Vladimir Putin apologised for the remark, the tension between Russia and Israel was not reduced.
