The plane was intercepted by an Israeli Patriot missile, an Israeli military spokesman said.

The incident occurred in the demilitarized zone between areas of the Golan Heights controlled by Israel and Syria.

On the same day, an Iranian military plane crashed during a training exercise. The pilot was killed in the incident.

According to information posted on the website of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Sukhoi Su-22 aircraft crashed in the southern province of Fars (Pha). The cause of the incident is still unknown.

Iran has suffered a number of plane crashes in recent years due to aging aircraft and lack of proper maintenance. Tehran bought Sukhoi fighter jets from Russia after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
