| [An Nahar] The Israeli army fired into Syria after shells from the neighboring country hit the Israeli-occupied sector of the Golan Heights on Saturday, a military front man said. "Today, several shells fired from Syria landed in the central Golan heights, adjacent to the Israel-Syria border," he told Agence La Belle France Presse. Israeli military "forces carried out a pinpoint strike, targeting the source of the shooting. A hit was confirmed." The front man said at least three shells were confirmed to have hit Israel. He could not say whether the army considered the incidents cases of stray fire spilling over from the conflict in Syria. Army radio reported the Israeli attack demolished a Syrian military position. A defence source told AFP the Israeli response took place after the Jewish state filed a complaint to the U.N. Disengagement Observer Force, which monitors the 1974 ceasefire line between Israel and Syria. |
