Zitat:DAMASCUS, June 28 (Xinhua) -- Syrian forces opened fire at Israeli military planes which flew over a residence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in northern Syria on late Tuesday, state-run TV reported on Wednesday.
The TV said that two Israeli warplanes flew over Syria's Mediterranean coast on late Tuesday night and that Syrian air defenses opened fire at the two aircraft which then left the area. (...)
The overflight was aimed to pressurize Syria against supporting Palestinian militants and help secure the release of the Israeli soldier kidnapped by Palestinian militants on Sunday, the report added. (...)
