The Israeli army said that Israeli air power launched and artillery attacked a Syrian site, in the evening of Wednesday, in response for two rockets fired from Syria towards Israel, and thought to have landed in the Sea of Galilee.
The two rockets appeared to be stray fire from the fighting inside Syria, the statement adds.
“In response to the two rockets launched at Israeli territory from Syria, (Israeli) aircraft targeted the rocket launcher. The area surrounding it was targeted by artillery,” an Israeli army statement said.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police units were searching in the waters of the Sea of Galilee for remnants of the rockets, although nothing had been found initially.
There have been days of bombing as Russian-backed Syrian government forces advance on rebel-held positions near the 1974 ceasefire line with Israel. The holdouts include one pocket near the frontier held by a group affiliated to the Islamic State.
Israel worries that Assad may defy a U.N. armistice that demilitarized much of the occupied Golan, or allow Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah forces to deploy there once he and his allies retake the Syrian side.
