Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli Air Force shoots down a Syrian fighter jet that traveled two kilometers into Israeli airspace, the military says.
“Two Patriot missiles were fired at a Syrian Sukhoi-model fighter jet,” the IDF says in a statement.
The military says the aircraft was being monitored as it approached the border.
“It penetrated two kilometers into Israeli airspace and was shot down,” the army says.
The military stresses that it will continue to enforce the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement, which requires Syria to abide by a demilitarized zone between the two countries.
