IOF attacks 12 targets in Syria after plane shot down

Saturday 10-February-2018

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Saturday announced that Israel attacked 12 Syrian and Iranian targets in Syria in what it described as large-scale raids.

According to the IOF the targets in Syria included three air-defense batteries and four Iranian sites.

An Israeli army spokesman told journalists the Syrians and Iranians were “playing with fire” but insisted Israel was “not looking to escalate the situation”.

Earlier on Saturday an Israeli fighter jet crashed after coming under fire from Syrian air defenses during attacks against “Iranian targets” in the war-torn country.

Syria fired anti-aircraft missiles at the F-16 fighter plane causing the pilots to eject the Israeli army spokesman said.
