Syria says air defenses responding to 'new Israeli aggression'
BEIRUT - Syrian state news agency SANA said on Saturday that Syrian air defences were responding to a "new Israeli aggression" and a military source said the defenses had thwarted attacks on military positions in the south of the country.
Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli military said an Israeli F-16 jet crashed in northern Israel during a mission to strike an Iranian drone installation that launched a drone into Israeli-held territory.
"The Israeli enemy has resumed aggression on some military positions in the southern region and our air defences have responded to them and thwarted the aggression," a Syrian military source said in a statement.
