Gantz: Syrian gunfire put Israeli soldiers at risk

Israeli troops conducted a surgical strike to destroy the firing position on the Syrian sector of Golan after they were placed in danger by the gunfire from that source Saturday night and Sunday morning, said Chief of Staff Lt. Gen/ Benny Gantz. The incident is a harsh reminder of the explosive situation along our border with Syria, he said.  Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said the incident was serious and Israel holds the Syrian regime responsible for all violations.
