Israeli aircraft attacked targets in Syria on Thursday, for the second time in five days, after they claimed a mortar shell from Syria struck the Israeli-occupied part of Golan Heights.

No casualties from the shellfire were reported and hours later the Israeli air force targeted Syrian Army's mortar launchers in the Northern Syrian Golan Heights, Indian Express reported.

The area is close to where fighting between the Syrian army and terrorist groups is taking place.

On Sunday, Israeli aircraft struck Syrian positions after it claimed a number of shells landed on the Israeli-controlled Golan.

Israel captured the Golan, a strategic plateau, from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in 1981 in a move that has not won international recognition, FNA reported.
