The Israel Defense Forces says it has responded to a "projectile launched from Syria towards Israel" by firing at Syrian army positions.

"Moments ago, a projectile fired from Syria hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights. No injuries reported," the IDF's Twitter account posted on Wednesday. Half an hour later, the IDF reported it had "targeted the Syrian military position that fired the mortar."

On Sunday, the IDF struck two artillery launchers and an ammunition truck on the Syrian side of the border after "several Syrian projectiles" landed in Israeli territory without causing any casualties. A similar incident occurred in the same Golan Heights region on Saturday.
