In response to the three "spillover" mortar shells that struck the northern Golan Heights on Tuesday morning, the IDF launched artillery strikes at two Syrian army sites in the central Syrian Golan Heights.
"The IDF views the Syrian army as responsible for what occurs in its territory, and will not tolerate any attempt to harm the sovereignty of the state of Israel and the security of its residents," added the IDF.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon  later warned the West  that the incident was a "promo" for what will happen once the sanctions on Iran are lifted as part of the nuclear deal signed with the West.
