400 meters? In a jet fighter, that is really nothing. Its like a baby step. The only way to achieve that little penetration is to be an angle so extreme that its totally obvious to observers that the jet is not making for a target in their territory.

I hate Assad. I hate chickens in jets who bomb towns from the safety of the skies while not being quite sure of their targets. But that does not change the fact that Israel totally over-reacted.

It's interesting that Israel didn't deny that they just helped Al Qaida, by shooting down this plane.

Perhaps, but the two countries are still in a state of war. Do you know of any countries that are officially in a state of war that would allow penetration of their border by the country they are at war with? I don't know of any.
