Israel will respond "forcefully" to attempts to threaten its security, Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon warned on Tuesday after a Syrian warplane was shot down over the Golan Heights.
"We will not allow anyone, whether it is a state actor or a terror organisation, to threaten our security and breach our sovereignty," he said in a statement.
"We will respond forcefully against any such attempt, whether it is an error or intentional."
