A spokesman for the regime\'s army said their fighter jets destroyed on Monday Syria\'s S-200 surface-to-air missiles located some 50 kilometers east of Damascus.
Jonathan Conricus claimed the aggression came after Syria\'s defense missile system launched a missile at an Israeli plane that was flying over the skies of Lebanon.
He said a number of Israeli planes were flying over Lebanon as part of routine spying on early Monday morning, when they came under attack by the Syrian anti-aircraft battery.
Tel Aviv has carried out dozens of airstrikes on positions on Syria, citing self-defense as justification.
