The Syrian air defense shot down an ‘Israeli' warplane and hit another one after four aircraft had breached the war-torn country's airspace and attacked government troops near Palmyra, the Syrian Army said on Friday.
"Our anti-aircraft systems reacted and shot down one of the planes in the occupied territories. Another plane was also hit, the rest flew away," the army command said in a statement.
The Syrian Army reported that the ‘Israeli' Air Force targeted government troops near Palmyra.
Earlier in the day, the Zionist military told Sputnik news agency that its combat planes were targeted by missiles confessing they had attacked targets in Syria.
Relatively, Zionist Channel 10 noted that ‘Israeli' planes were targeted by the Syrian government forces using S-200 surface-to-air missile systems, also known as SA-5.
After the Syrian Army's statement, ‘Israeli' military claimed that none of its planes had been damaged.
