Two Israeli soldiers were wounded by Syrian shellfire today. Syrian artillery went into action at 7 a.m. local time, concentrating on Israeli positions in the southern section of the Yom Kippur War enclave. Fire was also directed at the northern section, particularly the Mazraat Bet Jan and Tel Shams regions and the area around Kuneitra. Israeli artillery and tank guns returned the fire.
Israel air force jets staged a 25-minute attack early this morning on the “Fatahland” area of southeastern Lebanon to silence guns shelling Israeli positions on Mt. Dov. Lebanon admitted several days ago that its artillery was participating in the shelling of Israeli positions on Mt. Dov and Mt. Hermon.
