JERUSALEM (AP) — A mortar shell fired from Syria exploded in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Wednesday, falling in an open area and causing no casualties, the Israeli military said.

Military officials said the shell landed near an Israeli village near the Syrian frontier. They said investigators were still trying to determine who fired the shell, and whether it was aimed toward Israel or was stray fire from the civil war in neighboring Syria. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity under military policy.
