The Washington Post quotes Rafik Hariri Center Resident Senior Fellow Frederic C. Hof on the US drone believed to have been shot down in Syria:
“The bottom line would seem to be that the regime will consider engaging coalition aircraft it does not see as being focused on ISIS targets, of which there are none in Latakia province,” said Fred Hof, a former special adviser on Syria at the State Department who is now a scholar at the Atlantic Council. ISIS is another name for the Islamic State.
