IAF choppers bomb al-Qaeda positions on Golan Heights

IAF helicopters fired missiles at troops from the Jabhat al-Nusra front - affiliated with al-Qaeda - on the Golan Heights on Sunday afternoon, after the Islamic terrorists were seen laying charges along Syria's border with Israel.

According to Al Manar, two rockets were fired at a target in Mazraat al-Amal near Quneitra.
Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen TV said that the missiles were launched by an IAF aircraft, without specifying that it was a helicopter.

Western security sources said that the missiles were fired at a team of terrorists who had begun laying explosive charges on the Syria-Israel border near Quneitra.

No casualties have been reported as of yet.

According to the report, shortly before the IAF struck, two drones were seen circling above the area, apparently to collect intelligence.

Mazraat al-Amal is located in the Syrian Golan, near the border with Israel, and recent reports said that Jabhat al-Nusra forces were occupying it.

The IDF refused to confirm or deny the report of the strike and said that it “does not respond to reports in foreign media.”

Earlier in the day, it was reported that Israeli forces fired smoke grenades and tear gas toward Lebanese territory. Three Lebanese soldiers were taken to a hospital for treatment following that incident.

None of our borders are anything like the US border with Canada....
