On Tuesday, at least two rockets allegedly fired from Syria struck northern Israel's Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights. No deaths or damage has been reported. Israel responded by firing at least 15 shells.
The situation on Israel's northern borders intensified on December 18, 2014, when media reports cited sources in Hezbollah stating that an Israeli helicopter fired missiles on a group of militants near the Syrian town of Quneitra, on the Golan Heights border. The attack claimed six lives.
