The Zionist entity will “immediately” respond to Syrian gunfire on the border of Zionism-occupied Golan Heights.

The Zionist entity will “immediately” respond to Syrian gunfire on the border of Zionism-occupied Golan Heights, stated new Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon.

The statement comes after the occupation entity returned fire from over the border, wounding two Syrian soldiers.

"Every violation of Israeli sovereignty and shooting from the Syrian side will immediately be answered by silencing the source of fire," Agence France Presse quoted him as saying after Zionist troops opened fire towards a Syrian military post.

The Zionist army fired a Tamuz anti-tank guided missile into Syrian territory after Syrian troops opened fire for the second time in twelve hours, according to YNet News.

Zionist forces "destroyed a Syrian machine gun nest that fired on Israeli patrols operating to safeguard the border," spokesperson for the prime minister's Office, Ofir Gendelman, tweeted.

At least two Syrian soldiers were wounded with no casualties on the enemy side.

The tensions along the border began on Saturday when a round of gunfire from the Syrian side hit an Zionist military jeep during an evening patrol in the Golan Heights. No one was injured in the incident.

It remains unclear whether the fire was aimed at the the Zionist vehicle or was the result of indiscriminate fighting between rebels and government forces.

The entity of occupation is concerned over the tense situation at the Golan Heights border and fears a spillover of violence, as Syrian rebels have been making advances to capture territory from the regular national army.

The Zionist authorities took over the Golan Heights plateau from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War and annexed it in 1981, a move that was never recognized by the international community.
