Hot on the heels of Israel’s incursion into Syria. Hope that is not a surprise to anyone? Turkey and Israel in cahoots. Shouldn't be a surprise. Not if you have been paying attention.Recall? It was just a few days ago the vile Israeli attack on Syria took placeIsrael launched airstrikes into Syria- supporting their Islamists, of courseTurkey is doing the same job. Supporting NATO's Islamist mercenaries. Same as IsraelI queried at that time of the Israeli attack on Syria- Where are the western hypocrites? The ones who condemned the referendum in Crimea? Despite the obvious and overwhelming approval expressed by the people to rejoin their brethren in Russia Of course, their silence speaks of approval. Since the US and company totally support ...*The killing of Syrian civilians*The destruction of Syria’s infrastructure. *The dissolution of the territorial integrity of the nation of Syria. * The completely unwarranted attacks on a sovereign nation. You will read and hear no condemnation from the usual suspectsTurkish forces down Syria warplane near borderSyria reports the pilot ejected
A Syrian military spokesman says Turkey's armed forces have shot down a Syrian warplane near the countries' border, and called the act a "blatant aggression."
The unnamed spokesman was quoted by Syrian state TV as saying the plane was downed Sunday in Syrian airspace as it was attacking rebels who have been on the offensive in the coastal province of Latakia. The spokesman said the pilot ejected from the aircraft.
Turkey is among the main backers of Syrian opposition fighters trying to remove President Bashar Assad from power.The downing of the plane came as Syrian government troops were trying try regain a border crossing point with Turkey near the town of Kassab that rebels captured Friday.
Erdogan- the man in the hotseat, in Turkey, at the moment is still promoting the misery NATO is selling. And the Turkish army was very clearly supporting the NATO mercenaries as they moved into Syria.Turkey has, of course, notified NATOAs if NATO didn't already know?
Ankara has notified the United Nations and NATO, it said.Defence Minister Ismet Yilmaz warned Turkey had the "strength" and "capacity" to protect its borders.Erdogan also warned Syria against any response saying: "Our response will be heavy if you violate our airspace."The Turkish military said two Syrian MIG-23 planes approaching its airspace were warned "four times" to turn away and that it scrambled fighter jets when one refused to do so and violated Turkish airspace.A statement said an F-16 jet fired a missile at the Syrian plane which fell inside Syria.
Israeli media is reporting that an Assad family member has also been killed
Hilal Assad had been the head of the National Defense paramilitary force in the province of Latakia, according to Syrian state media, which confirmed his death.
