JERUSALEM, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Errant projectiles fired from Syria hit Israel-annexed Golan Heights early on Sunday afternoon, in a second such incident over the past two days.
"A short while ago, several projectiles fired from Syria hit an open area in the Golan," a military spokesperson said in a statement. No injuries or damage were reported.
The spokesperson said that the fire was a "result of the internal fighting in Syria."
On Saturday, Israel's air force attacked posts of the Syrian army. Syrian state-run news agency SANA reported that several people were killed in the strikes, including two civilians.
A spokesperson with the Israeli military said that the attack came in response to 10 projectiles from Syria that hit the Israeli-held Golan Heights.
The projectiles were spillover from the fighting near Syria's disputed border with Israel, the army said. No injuries or damage were reported.
According to SANA, the battles in this region are between President Bashar Assad's army and the Nusra Front, a Salafist rebel group in Syria.
"Due to the unacceptable violation of Israeli sovereignty," Israel has protested to the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) which maintains the 1974 ceasefire between Israel and Syria, a military spokesperson said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel will not tolerate errant fire and vowed to "react powerfully to any shooting to our territory."
Errant fire from the Syria, which is fighting a six-year-long war, has occasionally been spilling over to Israel, usually causing no casualties or damage. Israel often retaliated the mortars with airstrikes.
Israel has repeatedly declared it would not intervene in the internal fighting in Syria.
However, it is widely believed that Israel often carried out airstrikes on weapons convoys in Syria, and has been providing medical treatment to hundreds of wounded Syrians who reached the border.
