Syrian Air Defense Systems Intercept Missiles Launched by Israeli F-16s: Russia
A top Russian official has claimed that missiles launched by four Israeli F-16 fighters from Lebanon’s airspace were shot down by Syrian air defense systems.
"From 18:45 to 18:52 local time on April 9, four F-16 tactical fighter jets of the Israel Air Force fired five guided missiles at facilities on the territory of Syria’s Latakia governorate," Oleg Zhuravlev, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, was quoted as saying by Russian government-owned TASS on Sunday.
He added that three of those missiles were destroyed by Syrian missile systems.
