Israel Responds after Syrian Shell Hits Golan
[An Nahar] Israel responded with tank fire into Syria on Thursday after a Syrian mortar shell landed in the Israeli-occupied part of the Golan Heights, the army said."In response to the projectile that hit Israel earlier today, the Israel Defense Forces targeted the sources of fire in the Syrian Golan Heights," it said in an English-language statement. It did not identify the sources of the Syrian fire nor say whether it considered it to be a deliberate attack or unintentional spillover from the Syrian civil war, as in several previous incidents. It said the mortar shell fell on open ground and caused no injuries. On Monday, Israel carried out an air strike on an anti-aircraft battery in Syria after it fired at its planes on surveillance flights over neighboring Leb. Posted by: Fred 2017-10-20 |
