Israeli jets buzzed Assad palace as warning to Syria: reports

Israeli warplanes buzzed the palace of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad last week as a warning that Israel holds Damascus responsible for the recent flare-up on its northern border, reports said Sunday.

But Syrian sources told an Arabic daily that the reports were a "baseless" attempt by Israel to stoke tension in the region.

"We sent our warplanes over different parts of Syria and Lebanon as a warning sign," a senior Israeli defence official told the Yediot Aharonot daily.

The F-16 planes flew at a low altitude, evading Syrian air defence systems, and arrived back at base without incident, Maariv reported.
