-UPDATE- Sky news states that the target was a Syrian drone [IMG]https://worldisraelnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Patriot-missile-640x400.jpg[/IMG]4 [QUOTE]The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a Patriot missile successfully intercepted and downed a foreign aircraft on Thursday night that was flying over the Golan Heights region near the Israel-Syrian border. The IDF has not confirmed whether the aircraft was Syrian. It is also unclear if the aircraft was hit over Israeli territory. Israeli media have reported accounts of residents in the Israeli town of Safed, located a short distance from the Golan Heights region, witnessing the launch of two missiles and subsequently hearing explosions.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39739787[/URL] [URL]http://news.sky.com/story/israels-patriot-missile-defence-system-downs-drone-from-syria-10853659[/URL]
Uh-oh.
I imagine there will be a lot of posturing but not much done in response. Also holy shit man what's with the source? The article tried to force me to answer whether or not Jerusalem was the eternal capital of Israel or not.
I've seen the jets that shot the Hezbollah shipment yesterday (I live right next to the Golan heights and whenever a plane flies to Syria it goes right over me), but didn't see or hear any missiles. Hopefully nothing bad will come of this. EDIT: hahah what the hell is up with the question when you get into the site I answered "no" just to see if it blocks me or something but it just proceeded normally
I don't feel like this source is legitimate on its own merit. Seems kinda.. heavily biased..

Drop everything and run.
Better sources added, Sky claims the target was a drone
