Israel has carried out airstrikes in Syria in response to rare rocket fire from the neighbouring country. A war monitor reported that 10 people were killed, including Syrian soldiers and foreign fighters.
Israel’s army said two rockets were fired from Syria at Mount Hermon, in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, late on Saturday and one was “located within Israeli territoryâ€.
In response, the army attacked two Syrian artillery batteries, a number of observation and intelligence posts on the Golan Heights and an SA-2 aerial defence battery, it said.
The Israeli attack left three Syrian soldiers and seven foreign fighters dead, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

This sure happens a lot and I'm not criticizing Israel for defending itself; but it certainly demonstrates ongoing hostilities that never seem to become anything more serious. Ten killed. That'd be an international crisis anywhere else and the missiles were launched from the Golan Heights, Syrian land I believe.
