JERUSALEM, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli air force killed four Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria after gunfire toward Israeli soldiers in the Golan Heights Sunday morning, according to Israel's military source.
Several mortar shells also fell in the region, the source added.
"In response, a military aircraft shot towards the sources of the fire and killed four who used a heavy machine gun on a truck," a military spokesman said.
This was reportedly the first confrontation between Israeli soldiers and IS militants, as errant fire from Syria has occasionally been spilling over to Israel, usually causing no casualties or damage.
