Syrians say they opened fire on Israeli aircraft | |

DAMASCUS, Syria - Syrian air defenses opened fire on Israeli aircraft that violated Syrian airspace, a Syrian military spokesman said Thursday. The Israelis broke the sound barrier and “dropped ammunition” over deserted areas of northern Syria overnight, the spokesman was quoted by the official Syrian Arab News Agency. “We warn the Israeli enemy government against this flagrant aggressive act, and retain the right to respond in an appropriate way,” the Syrian spokesman said. It was not clear if Syria was accusing the Israelis of using warplanes or some type of other aircraft such as drones. “The Israeli enemy aircraft infiltrated into the Arab Syrian territory through the northern border, coming from the Mediterranean heading toward the eastern region, breaking the sound barrier,” the spokesman said. “Air defense units confronted them and forced them to leave after they dropped some ammunition in deserted areas without causing any human or material damage.” Israel’s army said it was looking into the report. Israel acknowledges flying over Lebanon routinely, but it is unclear how often its aircraft fly over Syria.

#3 Northern Syria... wouldn't that be the area they might launch LR (Scud-style) missiles at Israel from? Could the message be that Israel can reach them anyway? |
