Four IS militants were killed today (27 November) in clashes with Israeli soldiers who opened fire in response to rockets launched from a vehicle approaching Israeli-held territory from Syria, a military statement said.
Clashes were also reported in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights after an alleged Islamic State (IS) affiliate group launched rockets into the region from Syria, Efe news agency reported.
"Earlier, gunmen fired and launched mortar shells from Syria at IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) in Golan. IDF returned fire and successfully targeted the cell," an Israeli Defense Force spokesperson tweeted.
A military spokeswoman told EFE that the attacks were perpetrated by the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade - an alleged IS-linked group fighting near the Israeli and Jordanian border.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
