Jerusalem: Israeli forces attacked a Syrian military position on Wednesday, hours after a rocket from Syria hit the Israeli-held Golan Heights, the Army said.
The rocket was believed to be stray fire from fighting between the Syrian government forces and rebels.
It caused no casualties, the army said, and was "most likely a result of the internal fighting in Syria."
Israel has sought to avoid being drawn into the conflict, but has attacked Syrian military targets when fire spills over the demarcation line.
The Israeli Army holds the Syrian government accountable for any fire from its territory, regardless of the source.
Israel seized 1,200 square kilometres (460 square miles) of the Golan from Syria in the Six-Day War of 1967 and later annexed it in a move never recognised by the international community.
