Two projectiles fired from Syria hit the Israeli-occupied Mount Hermon on Wednesday morning but did not cause damage or injuries, an Israeli Army spokeswoman told AFP.
“There were two explosions on the Israeli side of the Hermon, we are examining the incident,” she said. “We believe this was a result of the domestic situation in Syria.”
The spokeswoman said the popular site, which is in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, was closed for visitors, and that Israel had notified the United Nations force in the region about the incident.
The Golan has been tense since the beginning of the conflict in Syria more than 2 years ago. However, there have been only minor flare-ups in the region, with Syrian shells crashing in the occupied Golan and Israel firing in retaliation.
