September 23, 2014 — A Syrian fighter-jet (MiG-21) was attempting to infiltrate Israeli airspace in the Golan Heights.
In accordance to its ‘Zero-tolerance’ policy, the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) responded by firing a Patriot anti-aircraft missile at the fighter-jet attempting to enter their airspace.
The fighter-jet was successfully intercepted by the Patriot anti-aircraft missile which sent the aircraft crashing to the ground.
Fortunately the two pilots were able to eject safely onto Syrian soil (assuming they were Syrians) before the plane made impact with the ground.
The IDF launched an investigation into the matter…
This is the latest news in the growing tension at the Israel-Syria border.
As the Syrian civil-war rages on, the IDF has seen a ‘spillover’ of the combat that has reached its borders leaving soldiers and civilians severely injured.
