Iranian Forces in Syria Shell Golan Bases, Israel Says

Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army posts in the Golan Heights from inside Syria, the Israeli military reported late Wednesday.

Israel said its Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted some of the rockets while the others caused minimal damage and no casualties.

Israel said it views the incident “with severity.”

Israel has been on high alert in recent days after Iran threatened retaliation for a series of airstrikes on its military positions inside Syria, killing at least seven Iranians. Iran blames Israel for the missile strikes. Israel has not confirmed or denied the attacks.

Israeli intelligence has said it anticipates possible Iranian action after President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the nuclear agreement with Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran of lying about its compliance with the agreement.
