ISRAEL STRIKES TARGETS IN SYRIA FOR SECOND DAY

- AP

The Israeli military on Sunday said it attacked a series of targets belonging to the Syrian military, after several projectile­s from neighborin­g Syria landed in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights for a second day. The military said it targeted two Syrian artillery positions and an ammunition­s truck. There were no immediate reports of casualties. But as an added precaution, the military instructed Israeli civilians from gathering in open areas in the border area. It was the second straight day that Israel responded to what it has described as errant fire from Syria. Israel has tried to stay out of the six-year civil war in Syria and refrained from taking sides, but has responded to spillover fire on numerous occasions. State media said five soldiers were wounded. /
