Russia summons Israel envoy after plane downed in Syria

Moscow - The Israeli ambassador has been summoned to the foreign ministry over the situation.

Russia on Tuesday summoned the Israeli ambassador after a Russian plane was shot down over Syria, an incident Moscow has blamed on Israel's air force.
"The Israeli ambassador has been summoned to the foreign ministry over the situation," a ministry representative told. Ambassador Gary Koren's deputy Keren Cohen Gat, currently the charge d'affaires at the Israeli embassy, went to the foreign ministry for a meeting of about 30 minutes.  She refused to comment to media as she exited the building.
