On Wednesday, Tel-Aviv said two mortar shells were fired at an Israeli military post, adding, an Israeli soldier was slightly injured by shrapnel and another suffered from shock.
There have been no reports on whether the shells were fired by Syrian forces or militants fighting against the Syrian government.
On September 12, two mortar shells fired from inside Syria struck an area in the south of the Golan Heights.
An Israeli military spokesman said the mortar shells hit open ground and caused no casualties or damage.
Comment: No need to find out who fired them, as an excuse is given for a free shot at the Syrian government. And not to forget that an Israeli soldier got a shock after all.
Given that the rebels are supported by Israel and they are annoyed that there was no military strike on Syria, then it is highly likely that a little self-inflicted wound was chosen so as to be able to retaliate. The same pattern has been seen over and over in Gaza and the West Bank, where rockets launched into empty land in Israel by anonymous groups makes a pretext for bombing and shelling the Palestinian people.
"They were apparently fired in error," the spokesman added.
The Golan Heights has been hit by mortar shells several times since the beginning of the conflict in Syria more than two years ago.
Reports say the Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey -- are supporting the militants operating inside Syria.
According to the United Nations, more than 100,000 people have been killed and millions of others displaced in the violence.
The Israeli regime occupied Golan during the 1967 Six Day War.
Israel occupied the Syrian territory in 1967 and later annexed it in 1982. The international community has never recognized the annexation.
Poor sod got a shock!
