(Damascus) You've got to give Syria credit for being stupid. Today they decided to target an aircraft flying over Israel. They missed with the missile landing inside...Syria. It appears that the soldiers who launched their manpad (shoulder launched missile) then returned to their vehicle - A ZSU 23-4 - which was promptly destroyed by the IDF killing 2 and injuring another.
What else did the Syrians expect to happen, other than allowing them to play the victim card.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.— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) May 27, 2019
