Syria: Firefight in the Golan Heights between Syrian forces and Israeli soldiers
Israeli soldiers returned fire into Syria on Tuesday in response to shots that reportedly damaged a military vehicle in the third cross-border shooting this week in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights.
There were no injuries reported. An Israeli spokesperson said, the shots “most likely were stray bullets, we don’t know if it was intentional.”
However, soon after, the Syrian military released a statement saying, “Our armed forces have destroyed an Israeli vehicle with everything that it had in it. The vehicle had crossed the cease-fire line.” This was the first time the Syrian regime admitted to firing at Israeli forces in the Golan since the beginning of the Syrian conflict.
