Massive escalation: The Israeli military said it bombed a Syrian anti-aircraft battery on Monday night that earlier in the day had fired at one of its fighter jets during a routine mission within Israeli airspace.
The IDF issued the following statement: "...Earlier today, a Syrian anti-aircraft system fired at an IDF aircraft as it was carrying out a routine flight in Israel. The projectile landed in Syrian territory. In response, we targeted the Syrian launcher that was responsible for firing it..."
This is a deliberate provocation by Iran to ignite a war between Israel and Syria. The Ayatollah regime in Iran has deployed Iranian forces alongside Shiite militias from Afghanistan and Iraq near the Israeli-Syrian border as preparation for war against Israel.
Iran's leaders threaten to destroy Israel. Israel will never allow Iranian forces and their allies to deploy forces near its borders.

PM Netanyahu: "A short while ago the Syrian army attempted to hit an Israeli plane; it did not succeed. In response the air force destroyed the launcher that fired on the plane. Our policy is clear – we will not tolerate any aggression against us, and we will respond forcefully." pic.twitter.com/obexqYhj3W
