Israel on Sunday 1 Tammuz retaliated to Syrian rocket fire into the Golan Heights for a second consecutive day. The rocket fire is attributed to spillover from the ongoing civil war in that country.

While there were no reported causalities from Sunday’s retaliatory strike, Syrian media outlets did report a number of people were killed in Saturday’s air force strike.

The IDF on Sunday announced two Syrian artillery positions were targeted along with an ammunitions truck. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at the start of the Sunday cabinet meeting announced “…We are not prepared to accept any spillover or trickle of fire from any front whatsoever. We will respond strongly to any firing at our territory”.

After Sunday’s attacks the Syrian army issued a statement, warning the “Israeli enemy” of the consequences of continued attacks.
