Israel Says Gunfire from Syria Hit Its Vehicles in Golan
[An Nahar] Gunfire from Syria hit Israeli army vehicles traveling in the southern Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday, causing some damage but no casualties, the Israeli army said."A short while ago, military vehicles traveling in the Golan Heights were lightly damaged by bullets fired from Syria," an Israeli spokeswoman told Agence La Belle France Presse. "No one was injured, and the incident is currently being reviewed." She could not say whether the shots were aimed at the Israeli army or stray bullets from fighting in Syria between rebels and army troops. Three weeks ago a mortar shell from Syria hit the Golan Height after nearly three months of no spillover from the fighting in Syria. In November, Israeli troops responded with artillery in the first such instance of Israeli fire at the Syrian military since the 1973 war. Israel is closely monitoring its border with Syria and fears that jihadist elements from among the rebels fighting the regime of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... might attempt to attack the Jewish state.
