TEHRAN, February 12 - "The Zionists' claims have always been incorrect and this time is no different," General Esmayeeli told reporters in Tehran on Sunday on the sidelines of the nationwide rallies to commemorate the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - He described Iran as an independent country, stressing, "If an independent country comes under aggression, it will do the same that was done against the Saudi F16 and F15 (by the Yemeni army and popular committees)."
"No one keeps mum against aggression," General Esmayeeli said.
Syrian Air Defense Units targeted an Israeli warplane after it raided the Syrian Army positions in the Central part of Syria on Saturday.
An Israeli warplane embarked on targeting a military base of the Syrian Army in Central part of the country on Saturday morning, adding that the Syrian air defense units tracked the warplanes and targeted more than one of them.
In the meantime, an Israeli media source reported that one of the Israeli jets was downed in al-Jalil region in Northern occupied Palestine by the Syrian air defense units' fire in the occupied Golan region.
The Israeli spokesman further claimed that an Iranian drone entered airspace of the occupied Palestine, but an Israeli combat helicopter targeted it. Iranian officials have rejected the claim.
The Joint Operations Room run by the allied forces of Syria, Hezbollah, Iran, and Russia said the drone never crossed the border into Israel, adding that Israel has raided its drone base at the T4 airbase in Central Homs province in Central Syria far away from the Israeli border.
The operations room said the drones operating at the base are tasked with collecting vital intel on ISIL in Syrian territories. It also warned that the incident crossed the border of its tolerance, implying that it would reciprocate any further aggression by Israel.
