JNS.org – At least two mortar shells were fired from Syria into the Golan Heights in Israel on Wednesday, which activated the Iron Dome missile defense system for the first time in the north of the country.
The Iron Dome fired at least two defense shells, but operators called them back when it became clear that the Syrian shells were going to fall in open fields. The shells caused wildfires that had to be put out by the fire department, reported Yedioth Ahronoth.
Authorities have reported that no injuries were caused by the shells and believe that they were most likely fired by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces while they celebrated his election victory.
