Hi Professor Cole, even the SOHR mentioned in their statement (http://www.syriahr.com/en/?p=68314) that the government jet did NOT target the SDF. Foreign powers committing acts of aggression against SYRIAN govt forces in SYRIA cannot be "self defense". As your post mentions, there is no clear motive for WHY the pilot would conduct such an action. US statement should be taken with a large amount of salt.
"...the sources confirmed that the warplane did not target the Syria Democratic Forces in their controlled areas located at the contact line with regime forces’ controlled areas in the western countryside of Al-Tabaqa to the road of Al-Raqqah – Resafa."
