Israel Hits Syrian Artillery that Fired on Golan
(Reuters) Crispian Balmer - Israel's army fired tank shells into Syria on Monday and scored "direct hits" in response to a Syrian mortar shell that struck the Golan Heights, the Israeli military said. Israeli military sources said Syrian army mobile artillery was directly hit in the incident. Israel's Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe Yaalon said he did not believe Assad wanted to wage war with Israel. "He is very careful. He responded to messages that were passed through different channels, and not just by us - regarding chemical weapons and fighting on the border," Yaalon told Army Radio.
