Defense Minister Ya'alon: Russian Jet Strayed into Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Sunday that since Russia began air strikes in Syria, a Russian jet accidentally strayed one mile into Israeli air space. "We immediately got on our communication channel, and the pilot immediately returned to Syrian territory....Ahead of time, they of course let us know when they approach our territory." He added that "Russian planes have no intention of attacking us, so there is no need to automatically shoot them down, even if they accidentally [breach our air space]."
