Israel: Syrian mortars accidentally land in Golan

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Israel's army says several mortar shells fired by Syrian government troops targeting rebels have hit the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

The military says no one was hurt in Tuesday's shelling.

An army spokesman says the shells were not aimed at Israel but at rebels in Syrian villages close to the Golan frontier and were part of the ongoing fighting in Syria. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with military regulations.

It's the second time Syrian mortars have landed on the border area since Syria's crisis erupted 18 months ago. In July, mortar shells fell about one kilometer (half a mile) from the Golan boundary.

The Israeli army says it has filed a complaint to the United Nations peacekeeping force that patrols the tense region between Israel and Syria.
