IDF troops operating in a buffer zone in southern Syria came under fire on Friday evening, marking the first such incident since Israeli forces deployed to the area. The soldiers returned fire toward the source of the shooting, and there were no Israeli injuries. The 'Syrian Resistance' claimed responsibility for the incident and announced their operations against Israel. Syria's new authorities urged Israel's withdrawal from the territory during talks with the head of a UN observer force. Israel conquered most of the Golan from Syria during the 1967 Six Day War and annexed the area in 1981.
