Israel shot down a Syrian warplane flying over southern Golan today.
The Israel Defense Forces tweeted that two Patriot missiles were fired at the Syrian Sukhoi fighter jet.
Unconfirmed reports say that a pilot was killed.
Syrian news agency SANA said Israel had targeted one of its jets over its airspace, but did not say it was hit.
The agency quoted a military source as saying the plane was conducting raids against “armed terrorist groups” near the Yarmouk Valley. APP/AFP
