Israeli army denies Syria claims of destroyed vehicle

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Israeli military denied on Tuesday, May 21, a claim by Syria that its armed forces destroyed an Israeli vehicle on the Golan Heights, according to Reuters.

An army spokeswoman said a vehicle had been damaged by gunfire from Syria but no Israeli soldiers were hurt. Israeli troops returned fire after the incident, which the military had announced earlier in the day.

The Syrian military said it destroyed an Israeli vehicle that crossed the ceasefire line in the Golan Heights.

A statement issued by the Syrian Armed Forces said its troops destroyed the vehicle "with those in it." It did not elaborate, but said any attempt to infiltrate Syria's sovereignty will face "immediate and firm retaliation."
