Israel targets Syrian artillery positions
The IDF struck two artillery launchers and an ammunition truck
on the Syrian side of the border after “several Syrian projectiles”
landed in Israeli territory without causing any casualties. A similar
incident occurred in the same Golan Heights region on Saturday.
“In
response to several Syrian projectiles launched towards Israel, IDF
targeted 2 Syrian regime artillery positions & an ammunitions
truck,” the Israel Defense Forces tweeted on their official feed on Sunday afternoon.
The tweet came three hours after the IDF said Syrian projectiles had “hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights,” while noting that “no injuries were reported.”

Earlier
on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that even
shells reaching Israeli territory accidentally would be met with a swift
retribution.
