The Times of Israel reports: The IDF on Monday said that stray fire from Syria reportedly hit a United Nations peacekeeping position in the Golan Heights. No injuries were reported.
The army launched searches following reports that two mortars had landed on the Israeli side of the frontier, but no signs of shelling were found. Instead, “heavy machine gun bullet holes were identified in a UNDOF post near Zivanit, adjacent to the border,” the army said.
The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force monitors a 1974 ceasefire between Israel and Syria on the Golan Heights. The army also said that despite the reports of incoming mortar shells, no warning sirens were heard. The sounds of explosions were apparently caused after some of the bullets set off a brush fire in a minefield along the border.
