JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said it had killed four militants linked to the Islamic State on Sunday after they attacked Israeli forces in the Golan Heights.

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a spokesman for the Israeli military, described the exchange as “unique” in magnitude. He said that jihadist fighters, riding in a vehicle with a machine gun mounted on its roof, had assaulted an Israeli reconnaissance unit with gunfire and mortars as its members lay in waiting on the Israeli-controlled side of the contested territory.
