Wildfires broke out in several areas of the Golan Heights near Alonei Habashan, likely as a result of the mortar fire, and firefighters worked to extinguish the flames.
Unconfirmed Syrian terrorists' reports indicated that Israeli military positions fired on and destroyed two tanks in response to the mortar fire.
