Israeli air strikes target in Syria

Errant fire that struck inside Israel from fighting among factions is Syria has prompted an Israeli air strike on a weapons launcher.

Israeli aircraft have attacked a target in Syria after errant fire from fighting among factions in Syria struck inside Israel, Israel's military says.

The Syrian fire had hit an open area near the border in the Golan Heights, causing no injuries, and in retaliation the air force targeted a "Syrian army launcher", the military said.

The Israeli military has responded similarly in the past when mortar fire has landed in the Golan, territory Israel captured in a 1967 Middle East war, during battles in the Syrian conflict.
