An onslaught launched by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday morning in response to alleged mortar shells that slammed into the occupied Syrian Golan Heights killed four unidentified persons.
The Hebrew-language Maariv news site claimed an Israeli army patrol stationed near the southern Golan Heights was targeted with gunshots fired from the Syrian borders at the same time as three mortar shells were dropped on the area. No injuries were reported in the alleged attack.
The same source added that the three mortar shells which were unleashed from the Syrian territories had slammed into the security fence.
A probe has been launched by the occupation army to find out about the reasons for the attacks launched from the Syrian borderland.
An Israeli army spokesman claimed that gunmen opened fire at Israeli soldiers while they were carrying out works near the border fence with Syria.
Israel’s Channel 2 quoted the spokesman as stating that the occupation army discharged barrages of machinegun fire in response to the attack.
Similar attacks have been occasionally recorded in the territory.
