Syrian military official accuses Israel of siding with rebels after one of its aircraft is downed over Golan Heights.
The Israeli military has shot down a Syrian aircraft that it said had infiltrated it airspace over the Golan Heights.
Tuesday's incident was the most serious incident to take place on the strategic plateau since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011.
Army radio said it was apparently a MiG-21 fighter jet which was shot down by a surface-to-air Patriot missile, with the wreckage landing on the Syrian-controlled side of the plateau.
There was no official confirmation over the type of the aircraft.
