The Israeli military says it has fired at Syrian army cannons in the Syrian Golan Heights in response to mortar fire from Syria that hit the Israeli-held Golan Heights.
The army says that the mortars appeared to be errant fire from Syria’s civil war, and were not deliberately targeting Israeli-held territory.
No injuries were reported Sunday.
The military says it holds the Syrian government accountable for the “blatant breach of Israeli sovereignty.”
Israel has taken pains to stay on the sidelines of neighboring Syria’s war, but has carried out similar reprisals on Syrian positions when errant fire has previously landed in Israeli-controlled territory.
Israel is also believed to have carried out airstrikes on arms shipments believed to be headed toward the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, a close ally of Syria.
