TEL AVIV (Sputnik) — Tel Aviv responded with airstrike to shelling of the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights from the Syrian territory, the Israeli army's spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said on Monday.
"Indiscriminate fire targeted wasteland close to the border fence in the central part of the Golan Heights. There was no injuries. In response the Israeli Air Forces bombed the source of fire in Syria," Lerner said in a statement.
Several dozens of militant groups, including the outlawed in Russia and other countries Islamic State and al-Nusra Front are estimated to be involved in clashes with the Syrian government's troops along the 50-miles long Israeli-Syrian border.
