IDF takes out Syrian Army mortar following Golan mortar hit

The IDF identified a mortar hit in an open area in the Golan Heights on Monday, near the border fence with Syria. It responded by using an aerial vehicle to target a mortar launchpad belonging to the Syrian Army, located on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

Following the incident, the IDF released a statement saying that it holds Syria responsible for any action originating from within its borders, and that it would not tolerate any attempt to undermine Israel's sovereignty or the security of it citizens.

The mortar attack is considered to likely be the result of the Syrian civil war and not a deliberate attack on Israel.
