Jerusalem Post Israel News DOUBLE WHAMMY: FEMALE IDF OFFICER DOWNS SYRIAN JET AND DRONE
Cpt. Or Na'aman, commander of the Patriot battery of the 138th battalion, also commanded interception of Syrian drone two weeks ago
Captain Or Na’aman commanded the Patriot battery which shot down a Syrian fighter jet over Israel’s northern Golan Heights on Tuesday, the IDF has confirmed to The Jerusalem Post.
As the commander of the Air Force’s 138th Battalion’s Patriot battery, Na’aman was also in charge of the interception of a Syrian drone which fell south of Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) almost two weeks to the day after the downing of the jet.
The Syrian Sukhoi fighter jet was intercepted Tuesday by two Patriot missiles launched from Safed after it penetrated two kilometers into Israeli airspace. The pilot, identified as Colonel Umran Mare of the Syrian coastal city of Tartus, was confirmed to have been killed.
Israel says it shot down the jet after it entered Israeli airspace from the Golan Heights border.
While it is now believed that the pilot likely made a navigation error, the incident is still considered by Jerusalem as a serious breach of Israeli sovereignty.
Syria confirmed that the plane, which was taking part in an offensive against Islamic State fighters in the Yarmouk Basin, was downed by Israel – but Damascus has denied that it crossed into Israeli airspace.
According to a report by the Ynet news site, Russian officials protested the downing of the jet claiming that it had not breached Israeli airspace.
Israel then presented clear radar images which “unequivocally” proved that the Syrian jet had flown into Israel.
On Tuesday a Lebanese news site quoted a Syrian military officer as saying that Damascus has no intention of rushing into a war with Israel after the downing of the jet but that “the response... will come soon enough.”
"You will not have to wait long for a response, but we’ll get there in a few steps. First, we need to finish all the ongoing military operations in the country. The direct response to the Israeli forces will come at an appropriate time.
The final step will be thwarting any attempts to remove the Syrian allies from the region,” he was quoted by the El Nashra news site as saying.
“In Tel Aviv they are aware that the situation that existed before the civil war is different from what will be after. It must be careful not to light the kind of fire that it will not be able to extinguish later. Israel shot down the plane knowing it was a Syrian plane in Syrian airspace," the source added.
Acting charge d’ affairs of Syria’s permanent delegation to the UN Munzer Munzer said Tuesday that Damascus had informed the UN Security Council that Israel has given “unlimited support” to terror organizations in southern Syria and has carried out “repeated military direct aggression” in the war-torn country.
Syria, he was quoted by the SANA news agency as saying, would not negotiate or relinquish its rights to the Golan Heights until “our occupied territory is fully restored.”
“Israel also continues its colonial settlement campaigns in the occupied Syrian Golan and the policies of repression against Golan citizens, looting their resources and arresting the Syrian people in a blatant violation of Geneva treaties,” Munzer said
Kinda like entering an expressway going in the wrong direction..........same result

Why is it important that a woman shot them down?
Cute enough.
Israel is the prime example of a NOT sexist society. Male or female you do your army time and excel where you excel.
But the Left feminazis would NEVER admit that in a million years.
How ironic. She shares the name of Na’aman, the commander of the Syrian army in Bible times, who was healed of leprosy by Elisha (2 Kings 5) and thus converted to the worship of YHWH. I wonder if the Syrians of today would even pay attention to such as Na’aman.
“Why is it important that a woman shot them down?”
Appropriate, for the way those animals treat women.
The ‘Stuff’ is flying in and around Israel.

Forget the Syrians. I wonder how many in the increasingly secular and atheistic Israeli society will know about this detail....
would make Rudyard Kipling PROUD! HA!
Israeli society is decreasingly secular/atheistic, because, in part, secular/atheistic people don't reproduce.
women aren’t allowed to drive in these islamic countries lol getting shot down by a woman is bad MOJO for terrorists its like eating pig or petting a dog its not allowed
To bad for islam ..... Israel needs more female pilots !
There are many secular Israelis, especially in Tel Aviv...
but at same time, there are more and more faithful Isarelis (mostly because they have families and children while many secular people don’t)
Usually, not always of course, it is the secular ones that we read about (if only because of the leftist media centered in Tel Aviv, and of course the commie-leftist media in USA doesn’t care much for news about religious people and their achievements.. they’d rather run nice glossy articles about homosexual parades, seditionist successes, and how wonderful abortions are). So we tend to get pretty slanted news, with any coverage of religious people usually limited to those articles that can make them appear stupid or ‘narrow-minded’
Rest assured, tho, that the faithful population is growing quite nicely
You’re aware that Syria is a secular society and has a substantial Christian minority, and has been fighting radical Islamists in their civil war, right?
You’re aware that Syria is a secular society, not an Islamist one, right?
OK, then you’re aware that the Syrian extremists who are featured in the article you linked are *not* the Syrian government under Assad, but are actually the terrorists that his government is fighting, right?
(I won’t even get into how the USA and Israel have been supporting these terrorist groups)
Sounds like Colonel Mare effed up his navigation and bad luck for him, what happened happened. But I don't think it's right to call him a terrorist. The people he was trying to bomb are terrorists.
I’m not interested in continuing to answer your personally annoying style of questioning.
Have a nice day.
