(Ha'aretz) Gili Cohen - The Syrian government took responsibility for firing at Israeli forces on Tuesday. At approximately 1 a.m., Syrian forces fired at IDF troops patrolling near Tel Fares in the central Golan Heights. No one was wounded, but an army jeep was damaged. Syrian state TV reported Tuesday that the Syrian army destroyed an armored IDF vehicle. Senior IDF officials said the claim was fabricated. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said, "We do not and will not allow any Syrian fire to enter our territory. Last night a Syrian army target was destroyed as a result of such fire."
