Shells dropped in Golan

There was a pair of airstrikes in Syria that was ultimately blamed on Israel, a few days after a "stray" mortar shell exploded in Israel's controlled Golan Heights. They say that it was an accidental spill over from the Syrian civil war and is said to be not affiliated with the airstrikes. There has been a large amount of gunfire and artillery that periodically enters Israel but is not a direct attack. The Israel airstrike that occured this past weekend targeted a military complex where 42 soldiers were killed.
