Syria Says Israeli Drone Downed In Quneitra

BEIRUT (Reuters) —

Syria said on Sunday that an Israeli drone had been brought down in the province of Quneitra near the Golan Heights.

State media said the drone was flying above the village of Hadar when it was downed. It was not immediately clear whether it had been shot down or had crashed.

Quneitra has seen heavy fighting between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and rebels, including al-Qaida-linked fighters.

Syria said last week that Israeli jets had bombed areas near Damascus international airport and in the town of Dimas, near the border with Lebanon.
