Monday&#8217;s incident marked the second time that Israel has fired on Syrian territory since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.<\/p>\n<p>The shell that landed in Israel is believed to have been aimed at rebel forces in the Syrian civil war. There were no injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The Israel Defense Forces filed a complaint over the incident with the relevant United Nations forces operating in the area. The complaint said that &#8220;fire emanating from Syria into Israel will not be tolerated and shall be responded to with severity,&#8221; the IDF said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The trading of projectiles comes a day after a mortar shell from Syria hit an Israeli military post in the Golan Heights. In Sunday&#8217;s incident, Israeli troops fired a warning shot in retaliation that reportedly was aimed at a military post in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, three mortar shells fired from Syria landed in Israel; a military vehicle on patrol in the Golan was hit by Syrian fire; and three Syrian tanks rolled into the demilitarized zone between Israel and Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a report Monday in the Syrian newspaper Al-Watan, which is associated with President Bashar Assad&#8217;s government, quoted residents of the Golan in Syria as saying they did not hear the explosion of a missile fired from Israel, apparently trying to downplay the fact that Israel fired a missile at the country, Ynet reported.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Army Radio on Sunday that Israel would respond if Syria again allowed its civil war to cross over into Israel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The message has certainly been relayed. To tell you confidently that no shell will fall? I cannot. If a shell falls, we will respond,&#8221; Barak said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Israel%20fires%20second%20missles%20at%20Syria%20after%20mortar%20attack\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1178,1179,8781,8790,8795,8788,244],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3616"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3616"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3617,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3616\/revisions\/3617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
