Islamabad, IRNA – A medal of honor has been granted to Sattar Alvi, a Pakistani air force veteran who had shot down an Israeli Mirage aircraft in 1973.

According to a Sunday report by the IRNA, the event was held in the Syrian embassy in Islamabad.

The Syrian envoy lauded Alvi’s skill and bravery in helping the Syrian air forces to fight against Israel during the 6-day war five decades ago. 

Addressing the event, the Ambassador of Syria to Pakistan, Ramiz Al-Rai said that the Syrians will never forget the support of the friendly and brotherly nation of Pakistan against the enemy’s aggression.
