An errant projectile 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 eighth such incident in under two weeks and came as fighting between President Bashar Assad’s regime and the numerous rebel groups in southern Syria has escalated.
Around 10 mortar shells from Syria struck the Golan Heights on Saturday, prompting an Israeli response that reportedly killed two Syrian soldiers.
On Sunday, several more projectiles hit Israel in what the army said was spillover fire from fighting between regime forces and rebels. The IDF again responded, confirming it targeted a Syrian military vehicle. Arabic media reports said five people were injured in the Israeli raid.
