JERUSALEM, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli Air Force struck overnight between Sunday and Monday a compound used by Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria, according to a military statement.
The attack targeted an abandoned United Nations building that has been used by IS militants as an operation center along the border in southern Syrian Golan Heights, the statement said.
Israel's Ynet news site reported that several fighter jets took part in the raid, dropping 10 one-ton bombs on the target.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The compound was a base for a shooting attack on Sunday, in which IS militants fired at Israeli soldiers from a machine gun-mounted truck. Israel quickly responded with an airstrike, killing four gunmen in the vehicle.
It was reportedly the first confrontation between Israeli soldiers and IS militants.
