[Ynet] Israeli military expresses disagreement over Russian Defense Ministry's conclusion that IAF bears responsibility for Syrian army's shooting down of Russian aircraft, claiming IDF planes were not in Syrian airspace at time of incident.The IDF rejected on Saturday the Russian Defense Ministry’s investigation findings on Syria’s downing of Russian plane, which concluded that Israel bears responsibility for the incident that killed 15 people.
According to the Russian report presented by the Defense Ministry, the IAF deceived the Russians by presenting false information regarding the area in which the strike in Latakia was planned on September 17 which prevented the Russian plane from leaving the danger zone.
