SYRIA’S military accused Israel of aiding Isis yesterday after Tel Aviv’s air force bombed a military site near Palmyra on Thursday night.

The Syrian armed forces’ General Command said it had shot down one of the attacking jets and damaged another over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights while they were on their way back from the raid.

Sirens sounded in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank on Thursday night as the jets fled Syrian airspace.
