Hi
Unconfirmed reports both aircrafts collided on an airway north of Damascus, the aircraft was climbing to cuising altitude on a scheduled flight...the helicopter pilot tried to evade the jet but the helicopter's main rotor touched the jet's rudder...helicopter was lost and the jet succeeded in returning to Damascus for a successful emergency landing

Seems this story is quite true!
Look at the damage to that A320! A few more feet off the tail and it would be quite a different outcome. Well done to the crew!
