Errant mortar fire from Syria hits Golan Heights

For the second time in as many days, errant mortar shell fired from Syria strikes the northern Golan Heights, the army says.

The projectiles exploded near Israel’s border with Syria, causing no casualties or damage, according to the IDF statement.

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.

On Saturday, an errant mortar shell landed in the Golan, prompting retaliatory Israeli airstrikes on Syrian military positions in southern Syria which reportedly killed 2 soldiers.
