(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Israeli army officials estimate that another attempt to harm IDF forces in the vicinity of the Syrian border will be carried out and the level of alert in the region will remain high. The region in which the attack occurred is under Syrian army control. Al-Arabiya reported that the aim of the attack was to kidnap an Israeli soldier. The explosive device used Tuesday contained thousands of fragments. In order to rule out a kidnapping attempt, IDF cannon immediately fired heavily to mask the area. Within minutes, tanks shelled towards Syrian outposts, and Tamuz missiles hit more distant positions.
