Earlier, six mortar shells were fired from Lebanon towards the Golan Heights. The shells cleared their target and landed in Syrian territory.

The IDF assessed that the launch - the second that landed in Syria in the past 24 hours - was meant to encourage Damascus to join the fight against Israel.

1. Wasting their might against nothing

A full scale war without taking out a neighbor's conventional military strength? This is a worse repetition of Sharon's first Lebanon invasion and the Syrians merely have to button down, take the abuse and let Israel mangle its might all on its own a la Napoleon in Moscow.

2. Locking.
