#1 The real fight is between IAF - who's been usurping the role of artillery for decades - and the IDF artillery corp (disclosure: I've served in both).

#2 "F-16 appears to have been downed by shrapnel"
"An initial Israeli Air Force investigation indicated that Saturday’s F-16 fighter jet crash was caused by explosion of an anti-aircraft missile next to the plane, but not necessarily from a direct hit, the army said"

Sounds like their fighter got shot down.
Happens to the best of us.

#4 Link fixed to Israel caused serious harm to Syria’s air defenses, says IAF second-in-command. My apologies.
