Injured navigator released from hospital after plane downed by Syrian fire
An Israeli navigator who was lightly injured after his F-16 was apparently shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft fire has been released from Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center, a hospital spokesperson says.
The pilot, who was seriously injured, remains in the hospital’s intensive care unit, though doctors say his condition has improved considerably from yesterday.

The pilot is now conscious and has been taken off a respirator and is breathing on his own, doctors say.
