}}An Israeli F-16I Sufa was shot down in the Golan Heights province north of Israel on February 10, 2018, after it crossed the Syrian border and attacked Iranian target in Syria.[1][2][3] This incident has been remarked as the first successful attack to IDF fighter jet since 1982.[4] An initial investigation was showing that the fighter jet was destroyed by an anti-aircraft missile.[4] The IDF spokesperson said, “Even if it was just hit by fragments, that’s still because of the missile”.[4] The two pilots ejected from the aircraft after it was hit, both sustaining injuries, one of them serious.[4][5] It is the first time that Israel had lost an aircraft in combat since 2006, when a Sikorsky S-65C-3 Yas'ur helicopter was shot down during the Lebanon war by a Hezbollah rocket.[6]

Incident

Israel claimed that an Iranian UAV entered Israeli airspace from Jordan at 4:25 am.[4][7] The UAV was shot down by an AH-64 Apache over Beit Shean.[4][6] In a further response, the IDF decided to dispatch an F-16I to target the UAV control center deep inside Syrian territory.[4][6] Syrian anti-aircraft fire hit the F-16 while the plane was returning from the mission.[4][7] It's two crew members ejected from the damaged plane and were taken to a nearby hospital.[4][6][5]

After this incident, an Israeli official admitted that an Israeli plane had carried out an attack inside Syrian territory.[1] Syria, however, claims that Israel had carried out many attacks inside Syrian territory before, but never accepted any responsibility.[1]

According to IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, the F-16 was hit during the mission.[4][6] The plane finally had crashed in Jezreel Valley in the north of Israel.[4] One of the pilots suffered severe injuries and was unconscious when he arrived at the hospital, while the other one suffered only slight injuries.[4][5] Dr. Rafi Beyar, the head of Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center, said the seriously injured pilot's conditions were stable, but was unconscious and connected to a respirator.[4][5]

After the incident, Israeli president Reuven Rivlin spoke with the second pilot who slightly injured.[4][5]

Aftermath

Tom Bateman, the BBC's Middle East correspondent, says that the Israeli attack on Syria was not unusual, but the loss of an Israeli fighter jet marks a serious escalation.[6]Interfax news agency reported that Russian president Vladimir Putin told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call that Israel should avoid any steps that would lead to a new confrontation in the region.[2]

Israeli military spokesperson Jonathan Conricus said that Iran was responsible for this incident and that the IDF would prepare for further action.[3]

A Syrian Armed Forces official said on Syrian state TV that Syrian air defenses hit more than one Israeli plane and called it "new Israeli aggression."[3] Later, Syria state TV claimed that the Syrian Air Defense Force had responded to new Israeli raids near the Damascus.[3]

A Pentagon spokesperson said that the United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself.[2]

A U.N. spokesperson said that U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was closely watching all military escalation throughout Syria and invites all sides to exercise restraint.[2]

Brig. Gen. Tomer Bar, the second-in-command of the Israeli Air Force, said the Israeli planes would face a variety of Syrian anti-aircraft weapons. These anti-aircraft weapons contained at least four different types of Russian-made air defense systems, specifically the SA-5, SA-17, SA-6, and SA-3.[4]
