DAMASCUS: Syria said its air defences went into action to force out Israeli warplanes which had entered Syrian airspace at dawn on Thursday, heightening tensions between the two foes.

“Enemy Israeli planes penetrated Syrian air space from the Mediterranean Sea heading towards the northeast, breaking the sound barrier,” an army spokesman told the official SANA news agency. “Our air defences repulsed them and forced them to leave...after the Israeli planes dropped ammunition, without causing human or material loss,” he said. “The Syrian Arab Republic warns the government of the Israeli enemy against this aggressive action and reserves the right to respond in a way it deems appropriate.”

There was no immediate response from Israel, which in June 2006 angered Damascus when its warplanes flew over President Bashar al-Assad’s palace in northern Syria. Over the past few months, Israeli and Syrian leaders have both said their countries do not want a war, but were preparing for any possibility while each side has accused the other of arming for a conflict.
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
