IDF troops operating in a buffer zone in southern Syria came under fire a short while ago, the military says.

The IDF says soldiers returned fire at the source of the shooting.

There are no injuries, the military adds.

It marks the first such incident since Israeli forces deployed to the buffer zone on the border between Israel and Syria, following the fall of the Assad regime last month.
