A Syrian jet
plane was probably shot down on Thursday by Islamic State militants near
a military airport in southern Syria but the pilot appears to have been
rescued, a monitor said. The
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had received information
that the hardline group had hit and may have brought down a Syrian plane
near Khalkhala airport, north east of the city of Sweida. Earlier Amaq, a
news agency close to the militants, said in a newsflash it had downed a
Syrian army plane in the vicinity of the same airport.
Syrian fighter jet apparently downed, pilot believed rescued: monitor
