Jerusalem Post: IAF destroys Syrian missile launcher after missile fired at Israeli plane
The missile didn't hit the Israeli aircraft, which was conducting a routine flight over northern Israel, and fell within Syrian territory.
The IAF destroyed a Syrian launcher that fired an anti-aircraft missile at an Israeli plane, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Monday night, stressing that Israel will not tolerate any aggression against it.
“A short time ago, the Syrian army tried to hit an Israeli plane, it did not succeed,” Netanyahu said in a video statement. “The air force in response destroyed the launcher from which it [the missile] was fired. Our policy is clear: we will not tolerate any aggression against us, and we will respond to it with force and firmness.”Netanyahu’s message came just two hours after he spoke live to the cameras about the current political crisis stemming from his inability to form a coalition, just 48 hours before the deadline to do so expires.
