Israel’s leaders vow strong response to Syrian fire spillover onto Golan

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Saturday night that IDF actions had made it clear time and again that Israel does not tolerate the trickle of fire from any foreign warfront and pushes back forcefully. He spoke after an Israel air strike was conducted against a Syrian position near Quneitra Saturday in response to two Syrian mortar shells flying into the Golan an exploding – albeit harmlessly. A similar response came from Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
