US blames Syria. Syria blames Israelis.
Neither the Israelis nor Russians are confirming.

I am kind of surprised that Russia did not use their satellite defense ability to track their war plane. (Or, maybe they did.)
 
I just saw on the TV news where Syria accidently shot it down. I haven't had anything come across my news feed about it yet though.
