The Israeli military claimed that they, overnight, struck what they described as an “armed terrorist cell” in the vicinity of the occupied Golan Heights, Al Jazeera reports.

They said they had also hit several targets in Syria in response to attacks on the occupied Golan Heights yesterday.

The Golan Heights is a 1,200 square kilometre (463 square miles) plateau in Syrian territory that was occupied by Israel in 1967 after capturing the area in the Six-Day War. It was annexed by Israel in 1981.
