Israel drawn into Syria fighting for first time

JERUSALEM (AP) -- The Israeli military has fired a missile into Syria, the first time Israel has been drawn into the fighting in the neighboring country.

   The military said it fired the missile as a warning shot on Sunday after a stray mortar from Syria hit a military post in the Golan Heights. Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and subsequently annexed it.

   The military says no damage or injuries were reported inside Israel.

   A string of mortar shells have struck the Golan during the Syrian civil war. Israel views the fire as accidental, but nonetheless has warned that it holds Syria responsible.
