Welcome to the program on top story israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says israel will continue to resist any iranian attempt to establish itself inside syria after an israeli fighter jet was down by antiaircraft fire during an air raid in syria the israelis say the raid was in response to the discovery of an iranian drone launched from syria flying in space iran can reports from leicester asylum. In the early hours of saturday morning syrias war escalated to a new level for the first time in thirty years israel lost a fighter jet to enemy fire israel confirmed Syrian Air Defense shot at one of its of sixteen fighter jets the israeli Prime Minister was blunt israel holds iran and its syria responsible for todays aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary. To protect our sovereignty and our security the crusher followed the shooting down of a drone israeli army video shows what they say is that iranian drone flying towards the northern Golan Heights before it was downed in retaliation the Israeli Air Force at twelve targets in syria including the suspected Drone Command Center iranian targets and Syrian Air Defense syria launch surface to air missiles during the israeli raid and says it shot down the f. Sixteen which crashed in northern israel at the hands of. The syrian Political Leadership took a decision at the highest level to face the thought simply any Israeli Military aircraft of a therian in space today syria did what it promised by down again misread the plane and striking at other planes this is clear for syria it is a thought of decision to confront the Israeli Air Force and its careless behavior. Both pilots ejected and parachuted to the israeli side of the border one is critically injured the Israeli Army Spokesman said it was wrong it was behind the launch of the drawing but didnt say whether it was armed or not the iranians have reacted theyve said that they are going to stand with syria against any felician us by israel the russians have also reacted saying that israel needs to respect syrian state to state sovereignty also what were hearing is that the israelis want to send a strong message to the russians to get iran out of the region iran can aljazeera western muslims well this is not the first time israel has hit targets inside syria iran has sent military advisers and allegedly thousands of its revolutionary guards to help the Syrian Government and that buildup of iranian assets has been increasingly worrying for israel saying one hundred explains. This is the Golan Heights territory israel captured from syria in one nine hundred sixty seven the war in syria has brought iran and its allies like the Lebanese ArmedGroup Hezbollah closer to that border israel says that is something it wont tolerate it has reached out to russia an ally of the syrian and iranian government. Before this was the deal that was signed by netanyahu and put it on the thirtieth of september when netanyahu went to russia in two thousand and fifteen and russia will prevent the iranians from Building Bases near the borders with israel this is when the russians entered syria and launched their military operations we have been witnessing israeli air strikes ever since. Israel has struck targets inside syria for years and has had convoys carrying weapons destined for hezbollah arms depots bases clearly with a green light from russia moscow does control the air space the Israeli Air Force was flying unchallenged until saturday while it was shot down by syrian antiaircraft batteries after it struck targets around damascus. The downing of the plane coincided with what some believe is the beginning of a more aggressive strategy to roll back iran rules america are the russians in front of a confrontation with the americans in syria are the americans in front of a possible confrontation with the russians in syria or is there an unannounced deal between the russians and americans to reduce iranian presence in syria. Israel considers russia its guarantor for security along its border with syria they have talked about a buffer zone but israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has said the ceasefire agreement in southern syria didnt address what he called Iranian Military ambitions israel has repeatedly said it will not allow iran and its allies to entrench themselves militarily in syria and it wont allow syria to become a Forward Operating base against israel thats a guy who calls them red lines. Now the Syrian Government and its allies are introducing red lines of their own they say the downing of the israeli jets is a clear message that the days of carrying out attacks in syria are gone russia allied to both sides is calling for restraint and for syrias sovereignty and territorial integrity to be respected it was a serious and dangerous incident the israeli army said it was last not a war but more than a confrontation for now all sides have taken a step back after making their message clear set of. Beirut aljazeera has more now on the of reigning in response to all of this from the irani capital to run. Almost immediately after the incident the reaction from the Iranian Foreign ministry was very clear the Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the assertion that iran would fly a drone into israeli airspace is clearly a lie that is so ridiculous its not even worth a response now that was from the Foreign Ministry and for all the specific details in the early part of the day the iranian government deferred to the syrians they see this as an incident that happened between the Israeli Military and the Syrian Military yes iran is present to help support the government of Bashar Al Assad but they see this is a specific incident that israel is trying to use to bring more criticism against iran once again and so we saw them very clearly letting syria and the Syrian Government take the lead in terms of responding. To the issue of the drone syria for its part said that it was a surveillance drone being used to monitor Islamic State targets in the area but the very fact that iran deferred to them is very clear indication that they completely deny the allegation by the Israeli Government that the drone was launched by iran or ever encroached into israeli airspace staying with syria and a Turkish Military helicopter has been shot down during an operation against kurdish fighters in the north of the country this video is said to show the helicopter moments before it was downed killing two soldiers on board technician president. Says it happened across the border from turkey south hatay province has more from gaza takis border with syria. The downing of this turkish manufactured attack helicopter the skill to sucker soldiers is a Significant Development in this three week long but military operation it brings the number of crystal just killed by a z y p g Kurdish Militia group to over twenty years far as the serbs are concerned theyve killed at least one hundred fifty kurdish fighters now some advances have been made on the ground in the past twenty four forty eight hour as the Free Syrian Army which is fighting alongside Turkish Military in order to advance towards the y. P. Cipro just from hold of our feet and i have managed to capture some villages on the road towards there as far as the turkish army is concerned and the listening to president merchant tehran they will respond the same to those who were behind that attack whats important to note here is that although the. Kurds are sources in the y. P. Ji claim that the Turkish Military has killed civilians in its operation ankara denies that they say the reason why this operation is ongoing as fast as they wanted to is precisely because they have been trying to of various any deaths of innocent civilians that have been reports that the p g p y d thats the political wing goes thats hard for militia have actually been. Kurds from other towns and cities to use them as human shields the kurdish officials there would say actually this is just the natural response of the kurdish population you know just to protect their town against what they see as a foreign aggression. Three weeks now into operation on a ranch that does seem as i say to be steady advance made by the tarps and the Free Syrian Army towards our freedom but this down and go for a helicopter will be sure to incur the wrath of the targets from the tree.
