The IDF's Artillery Corps struck two Assad regime military positions after a number of Syrian shells exploded in the northern Golan Heights on Tuesday.



There were no injuries in Israel following the Syrian shell blasts.



The IDF said its attack occurred in response to stray cross-border fire by the Syrian military due to internal battles raging with rebels on the Syrian side of the border.



"The IDF sees the Syrian military as being responsible for what occurs in its territory and will not tolerate any attempt to harm the sovereignty of the state of Israel," the IDF said.



On September 28, stray cross-border fire originating from Assad regime army positions resulted in Israeli retaliatory fire.



The Syrian projectile exploded in an unpopulated area of the northern Golan Heights, causing no injuries or damages. No warning sirens went off as the projectile's trajectory did not threaten built up areas. It was the second incident of stray Syrian cross-border

fire in two days.



Soon afterwards, the IDF struck two Assad regime artillery posts. IDF artillery units carried out the attack, the army added.



Citing the Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen television station, Israel Radio reported at the time that a Syrian deputy battalion commander suffered moderate wounds from the Israeli fire.



The report said Israel fired four missiles at an artillery battalion that belongs to Division 90 the regime's army in Quneitra.



Commenting on those events in September, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Syrian artillery gun positions taking part in civil war battles were behind the stray fire into Israel on Sunday and Saturday.



"From our perspective. this is a violation of sovereignty and a crossing of a red line The State of Israel has no intention of ignoring such incidents, and the IDF therefore attacked two Syrian army artillery positions this evening," Ya'alon said.
