IDF Knew Intercepted Sukhoi Jet Was Syrian, Not Russian
(RT-Russia) Israeli forces were certain the Sukhoi jet they intercepted with Patriot missiles over the Golan Heights on Tuesday did not belong to the Russian Air Force. There was no "confusion" over the fact that the aircraft belonged to the Syrian army, said Lt.-Col. Jonathan Conricus, head of the International Media Branch of the Israel Defense Forces. "We have passed a number of messages, in a number of languages, in order to ensure that no one violates Israeli air space," he added.
