On February 10, 2018, Israel launched an air strike against targets in Syria with eight fighter aircraft as retaliation for a UAV incursion into Israeli airspace earlier in the day. Syrian Air Defenses succeeded in shooting down one of the Israeli jets, an F-16I Sufa, with an S-200 missile.[47] The jet crashed in the Jezreel Valley, near Harduf

On September 17, 2018, a Russian Il-20 ELINT plane was shot down by a Syrian S-200 surface-to-air missile. Four Israeli F-16 fighter jets attacked targets in Syria’s Latakia with standoff missiles, after approaching from the Mediterranean, a statement by the Russian defense ministry said on Tuesday.

On October 4, 2001, a Sibir Airlines Tupolev Tu-154 flying from Novosibirsk to Tel Aviv exploded over the Black Sea, killing all passengers and crew.
At the time an Ukrainian military exercise was taking place on the shores of the Black Sea.
The US DoD also released a statement that it had intercepted telemetry data from a missile that had veered off course. Further, a radar station on Russia's Black Sea coast reported its airspace was penetrated by a flying object with no transponder signal. It seemed and after the investigation concluded was agreed, that the incident was the work of an overzealous Ukrainian SA-5 missile.
What seems to have happened in the case of the unfortunate Russian airliner is that an SA-5 was fired at a target drone which it either missed, or was beaten to by another SA-5. At this point, the missile continued flying in what happened to be the general direction of the airliner, with an active seeker head (for some reason it did not self-destruct, as SAMs are generally supposed to if they miss their target). At length, it acquired the airliner, intercepted it and detonated on its proximity fuse, probably within 50 feet of it. A tragic coincidence.
