Israeli troops stationed in southern Syria came under fire a short while ago, the military says.
No injuries were caused in the incident.
The IDF says that in response, troops returned fire and launched mortars in the area, and a helicopter carried out a strike in an open area.
The IDF has been deployed to nine posts inside southern Syria since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December 2024. They are mostly within a UN-patrolled buffer zone on the border between the countries.
