(Source: AP)Israeli forces reportedly killed four Islamic State terrorists in Syria in the first direct clash between the country and the jihadi group, as per reports. The militants opened fire on a military patrol on the Israeli side of the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, a military spokesman was quoted by the Independent online. While avoiding being drawn into the internal Syrian conflict, Israel attacks Syrian military targets when fire, even unintentional, spills over the demarcation line.
