5 said injured in Israeli retaliatory strikes on Syrian military

Five people are reportedly injured in Israel’s retaliatory airstrike on Syrian military positions, after earlier errant fire from the country’s ongoing civil war saw a mortar shells land in the Golan Heights.

Reports in pro-regime outlets said the Israel military struck an army vehicle in the Quneitra area.

Earlier today, a number of projectiles from Syria exploded inside Israel for the second time in as many days.

The IDF in a statement said the missiles were spillover fire from the fighting in Syria.

It was the seventh such incident in a week and came as fighting between President Bashar Assad’s regime and the numerous rebel groups in southern Syria escalated in recent weeks.
