First it was Wednesday mornings hit from Gaza by 3 rockets.  Now at 12:30am Wednesday evening a mortar shell flew into the Golan Heights by the Syrian army.

 It appears they are trying to provoke Israel into making an attack as their government because they also had fired at an Israeli jeep by deliberately aiming at it.  This was no stray hit.  There was nothing else to hit aiming in that direction.

UN Ambassador Ron Proser wrote a letter of complaint to the UN Security Council about it, but most likely nothing will happen.  They never seem to act on messages from Israel; only about Israel.

Golan Heights Gets Hit With Second Rocket and 3 More

Nadene Goldfoot
Three months ago the Israelis living in the Golan were hit with a mortar accidentally from Syria due to their Civil War.

They were just hit again by a 100 mm shell from the battle Syria is involved in which landed in this Golan town.  People can hear the shelling in Syria from here, but recently they say it had been quiet.  The silence was broken by the whistling of incoming fire.  Luckily it didn't explode.

Update: 3/2/13 Three more mortars exploded in the Golan Saturday afternoon.  They all seem to be strays from the fighting below in Syria.  No one was injured.
