Syria and Israel Exchange Fire

Sunday morning, a mortar round crossed over from Syria, into the Golan Heights of Israel.

Israel quickly responded by firing a warning shot right past a Syrian border post.

Neither round caused any damage or injury.

It marks the first time since 1973 that the Israeli Defense Forces fired into Syria.

The incident happened just eight days after Israel caught three Syrian tanks entering the demilitarized zone.
