The rebels have been fighting for
control of the Kasab crossing, the border region, since Friday, when they
launched an offensive which Syrian authorities say was backed by Turkey's
military.
Syria said Turkish air defenses shot
down the jet while it was attacking rebel forces inside Syrian territory,
calling the move a "blatant aggression".
State television quoted a military
source as saying the pilot managed to eject from the plane. The Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said initial reports from the
area said the plane came down on the Syrian side of the border.
Al Manar, the television station of
Assad's Lebanese ally Hezbollah, said two rockets had been fired from Turkish
territory at the Syrian jet. (Reporting by Daren Butler in Istanbul and Dominic
