It's kicking-off on the Israeli-Syria border (Golan Heights). Lots of aircraft, heavy exchanges of gunfire. Possibly a downed aircraft/hostage situation.

UPDATE :

Israel: Arab citizen uses paraglider to infiltrate Syria

JERUSALEM (AP) — An Arab citizen of Israel using a paraglider flew into neighboring Syria, the Israeli military said Sunday, in what appeared to be an intentional attempt to join a rebel group there.

Military officials said a 23-year-old from an Arab town in Israel planned the maneuver with the intent of joining Syrian rebel fighters. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the still-under-investigation case with the media.

Dozens of Arab citizens of Israel have sneaked into Syria in recent years to join the civil war. This would appear to be the first case of someone doing so via air.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet Sunday that he would work to revoke the man's citizenship.
