An Israeli fighter jet has crashed amid Syrian anti-aircraft fire after an offensive against Iranian targets in Syria, the Israeli military says.
The two pilots ejected and parachuted to safety after the crash in northern Israel. They were taken to hospital.
Israel said its aircraft, an F-16 jet, was carrying out strikes in response to the launch of an Iranian drone into Israel. The drone was intercepted.
Syria opened fire after an Israeli act of "aggression", state media said.

Good that they got out okay and didn't come down in enemy territory

Quite likely they were hit by S400 missiles under control of Russians.

No it doesn't. Russia has no beef with Israel as long as they stay away from striking near to their airbases. They are not going to get involved with the back on-going Israeli/Hezbollah/Syrian/Iranian conflicts.Northsky wrote:Quite likely they were hit by S400 missiles under control of Russians.

That is why the Russians and Israelis signed a memorandum of understanding. Russia does not want to get dragged into such matters.
Israel, Russia agreed to consult on military operations over Syria

According to an Doha institute specialist on Al Jazeera he said it was quite likely a Russian on the trigger and that the Israelis were in Moscow recently and were probably warned by the Russians.
