JERUSALEM/MOSCOW (Reuters) - Israel shot down a Syrian drone that penetrated its airspace on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, highlighting an escalation of volatility near the frontier which Netanyahu discussed in Moscow with Damascus’s biggest ally.
“A drone penetrated from Syria’s territory to Israel’s territory several hours ago. It was successfully shot down. And I would like to point out that we will be preventing any attempts to violate our air or land border,” Netanyahu said on Wednesday as he met President Vladimir Putin
