Israel denies Syria shot down a warplane
Damascus - Arab Today

Syria’s army said Friday it shot down an Israeli plane that had been carrying out pre-dawn raids on a military target near Palmyra, the famed desert city it recently recaptured from ISIL.
"Four Israeli planes penetrated our air space at 2:40am via Lebanese territory and hit a military target on the way to Palmyra," the army said in a statement carried by state news agency SANA.
"Our air defence engaged them and shot down one warplane over occupied territory, hit another one and forced the rest to flee," it added.
The Israeli army denied any planes had been struck and the Syrian government has made similar unfounded claims in the past.
The incident is the most serious between the two countries, which remain technically at war, since civil war broke out in Syria in 2011.
The Israeli air force had earlier said it carried out several strikes on Syria overnight and that Syria had fired surface-to-air missiles in response. But it said none of those missiles had hit their targets.
"This flagrant attack is part of the Zionist enemy’s persistent efforts to support the terrorist gangs of Daesh," the Syrian army said, using an Arabic acronym for ISIL
"It will be responded to directly with all possible means," it added.
The Syrian army recaptured Palmyra from the extremist group on March 2, three months after losing it to ISIL for a second time. Syrian troops backed by Russian forces had first retaken it in March last year.
In January, the army accused Israel of carrying out missile strikes on the Mazzeh airbase near Damascus.
