Israel and Palestine: The number of Israelis killed reaches 1,200


The Israeli army has responded with artillery after rockets were fired at the Golan Heights, an area occupied by Israel since 1967.

"Soldiers are responding with artillery and rockets to the area where the attack occurred in Syria," said a statement from the Israeli army.

The army claims there have been "a number of attacks from Syria inside Israeli territory".

A spokesman for the army has told the AFP news agency that it appears to be a mortar fire.

This was the first exchange of fire between Israel and Syria since Hamas launched an attack on Israel from the besieged Gaza Strip on Saturday.

On Tuesday, Israel also exchanged fire with militants in southern Lebanon.
