DAMASCUS, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Syria's Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad warned on Thursday that Israel is playing with fire and will eventually pay the price for its repeated attacks on Syria.
"Syria will not be silent in the face of the repetitive Israeli attacks and the Israelis will pay the price sooner or later," Mekdad said in a tweet on the official Foreign Ministry Twitter account.
Mekdad noted that Israel, through its actions, is pushing the security and military situations in the region to explode.
He added that the United States and its Western allies should be blamed for encouraging Israel to persist in the aggression, which threatens peace and security in the region and the world.
The minister's remarks came after Israel launched attacks on Wednesday on the international airport in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo and the military sites in the capital of Damascus. ■
