BEIRUT, November 15. /TASS/. Two missiles were fired on Tuesday night from Syria’s southwestern region of Quneitra towards Israeli positions in the occupied Golan Heights, the Al Jadeed television said, adding that reports about the attack came from Israeli sources.

No information about the incident from Syrian military sources is available at this point.

It is presumed that members of the radical Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad, are responsible for the attack.

On November 7, 20 missiles were fired to Golan heights from the Lebanese territory adjacent to the occupied Syrian region.

The Golan Heights, which belonged to Syria since 1944, were seized by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. In 1981, the Israeli parliament passed a law unilaterally declaring sovereignty over the Golan Heights. The UN Security Council declared the annexation null and void in its Resolution 497 on December 17, 1981.
