AMMAN/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Syrian air defences shot down "hostile targets" on Thursday, state media said, in an area regional intelligence sources said contains Iran-backed assets, while Russian media said no Israeli jet had been downed as earlier reported.

Russia's RIA news agency, citing a Syrian security source, had reported that air defences had shot down an Israeli war plane and four missiles, but the same source later denied this and Israel's military said the report was "bogus".
