IDF military forces opened fire at Syrian artillery launchers on Sunday in retaliation for a mortar attack on northern Israel earlier in the day.
The forces targeted the Syrian unit a few hours after northern Israel was shelled earlier in the day.

The central Golan Heights was struck by Syrian mortar fire near al-Furan, although it was not clear who was shelling the area.
No one was physically hurt and no property damage was reported in the attack, which a military source said was likely caused by spillover from the raging civil war.
Nevertheless, Israel holds the Syrian government responsible for all actions that take place within its borders, the IDF said in a statement.
