Syria says it destroys Israeli vehicle that crossed ceasefire line in Golan Heights
DAMASCUS, Syria – The Syrian military says it has destroyed an Israeli vehicle that crossed the ceasefire line in the Golan Heights.
A statement issued by the Syrian Armed Forces says its troops destroyed the vehicle “with those in it.” It did not elaborate, but said any attempt to infiltrate Syria’s sovereignty will face “immediate and firm retaliation. “
The Israeli military said earlier Tuesday that gunfire from Syria hit an Israeli patrol on the Golan Heights overnight, damaging a vehicle and prompting the troops to fire back.
The military said on Tuesday that the Israeli troops reported a “direct hit” from the return fire but provided no further details.
