JERUSALEM, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Errant projectile from Syria hit the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Friday, Israel's army said, in the fifth such incident over the past week.

"A projectile fired from Syria hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights," a military spokesperson said in a statement, adding that no injuries or damage have been reported.

"The errant projectile is a result of the internal fighting in Syria," the statement read.

The incident marked the fifth time that a spillover from the war-torn country hit northern Israel, without causing damage or injuries.

Israel responded all these incidents with strikes against President Bashar Assad's army positions.

Israel had 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.
