Israeli losses to Syrian AF 1982?

I’ve often read that Israel lost no aircraft in 1982 against Syria.

Occassionally I’ve seen an admitance that Israel lost a single F-4 to a SAM.

I was looking at ACIG and came across this link:

A number of A-4, F-4s, F-16s and an E-2 are claimed by Syria but none are listed as confirmed.

However 4 aircraft are listed as having been confirmed kills:

26/04/81 – 4 x A-4E Skyhawk
9/06/82 – 1 x Kfir C.2
10/06/82 – 1 X F-4E

One F-15 is listed as damaged.

Are these confirmed kills true? Also is there any truth to Syrian claims?
