Israel downs flying object from Syria as Iran vows revenge
Israel has struck Syria three times in the past four days, killing officers in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Israel downed an unidentified flying object from Syria on Sunday, after firing missiles at Syrian and Iran-backed military targets earlier in the day. Tensions are high after several suspected Israeli attacks on Syria in recent days.
Israel Defense Forces spokesman Avichay Adraee said on Twitter at 3:04 p.m. ET that an “unknown air piece” entered Israeli airspace from Syria. The object was downed and “did not pose any danger at any point,” according to him.
