TEL AVIV — Syrian troops fired on an Israeli military unit in the Golan Heights in the first such incident in years.
Israeli officials said Syrian soldiers opened fire on an Israeli commando force during a clash with infiltrators in the southern Golan Heights on Wednesday. The officials said Syrian soldiers entered Israel and encountered an Israeli unit in a border area where Israel, Jordan and Syria meet, Middle East Newsline reported.
"One of our infantry patrols on our side of the border was fired upon," Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Moshe Ya'alon said. "It returned fire, killing one armed man and captured another armed man who surrendered."
Israeli military sources provided the following account. They said that two men wearing Syrian army uniforms and armed with AK-47 assault rifles crossed into Israel. The infiltrators were soon spotted by an elite Egoz infantry unit.
