Re: Israeli Air Force F-16 down in Syria
Several pictures of missiles on ground shut against the Israeli aircraft.
Much possible a SA-5 or SA-6. Old missiles are usable today also.

The shut down drone was the Iranian copy of RQ-170.

Suggestions on the world wide web are that the aircraft involved was an F-16I of the 2nd number 1 squadron possibly brought down by a V-880/5V28n missile launched from a Syrian S-200M "Vega-M" anti-aircraft system. Here is a possibly relevant file photo from "Nick":

Re: Israeli Air Force F-16 down in Syria
One source also claims S-200.
At least 24 missiles were shut.
It must be much scrap in the air.
