Major Development: Syria Shoots
Down Israeli Jet
17
March, 2016
General
Command of the Syrian Armed Forces confirmed to the media that the
Syrian air defense systems shot down an Israeli jet that violated
Syrian airspace in the Bureij area near the Lebanese border on
Thursday night.
The
statement reads:
"Four
Israeli jets violated Syrian airspace at at 2:40 am in the Bureij
area, located next to the Lebanese border and targeted military
positions in the direction East of Palymra in the central province of
Homs.
The
air defense system responded and shot down the jet inside in the
Occupied Territories, hit another one and forced the rest to flee.
This
blatant assault is only helping ISIS to boost their morale and their
terrorist activities amid the catastrophic results the terrorist
group is facing at the moment."
The
statement further added that the "General Command of the Syrian
Army is determined to counter any possible future violations and acts
of aggression, coming from the Israeli side".
During the past three years, Israel occasionally violated Syrian airspace and bombed Syrian Army positions in the areas of Damascus province, often while the Syrian Army was in the midst of battle with the terrorist groups.
