DAMASCUS, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Syrian army destroyed an Israeli military vehicle that trespassed on Syrian territories and Israel responded by firing two rockets at a military site in Syria, the military general command said in a statement Tuesday.
The army destroyed the vehicle on Tuesday afternoon after it surpassed the ceasefire line between Israel and Syria on the Golan Heights and moved toward the town of Beir al-Ajam where the armed rebels are active, the statement said.
Following the destruction of the vehicle, the Israeli army fired two rockets at a Syrian army position in the town of Zbaidieh but caused no casualties, the statement added.
Syria has recently accused Israel of helping the rebels, especially after two Israeli air strikes hit military positions in Syria over the past month.
On Monday, the Syrian army said it had found an Israeli vehicle in the central city of al-Qussair where the troops are fighting to recapture the city from the rebels.
