At least 2 mortars from Syria land in Golan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo mortars fired from Syria land in the Golan Heights this morning, as rebels and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad battle for control of the only Syrian crossing into Israel.
Channel 2 reporter Guy Varon says there are at least three hits.
The IDF says it has not determined whether the mortars were fired into Israel intentionally or were a spillover from fighting between rival factions on the Syrian side of the border.
The mortars caused damage to a car, according to Israeli news source Ynet.
Earlier in the morning, Israeli farmers in the northern territory were told to stay away from their lands near the border as heavy fighting raged for the crossing point near the city of Quneitra.
