Shell fired from Syria lands in occupied Golan Heights: Israeli Army

The mortar landed near a military base on the border of Syria's Golan Heights on Wednesday afternoon.

    There have been no reports of casualties or damages so far, and the Syrian government has not yet made any comments on the incident.


On November 18, Israeli military forces in the Golan Heights fired artillery shells at Syrian troops in a direct clash between the hostile neighbors.

An Israeli Army spokeswoman said that Israeli artillery fired into Syria after gunfire from Syria hit an army vehicle.

On November 12, Israeli tanks struck a Syrian artillery launcher after a stray mortar shell flew into the Israel-held territory.

The Israeli regime captured the Syrian territory of the Golan Heights following the 1967 Six-Day War and unilaterally annexed it in 1981, drawing international condemnation.
