Six Turkish F-16 fighter jets were "harassed" by Syrian regime forces
after coming under radar lock for thirty seconds, according to the
Turkish Armed Forces.
The Turkish military said in a statement on May 3 that the incident happened as the F-16s were on patrol along the Syrian border.
Tensions in the area have remained high since Turkish forces shot down a Syrian warplane for entering its airspace on March 23. The two countries' borders extend more than 800 km.
