Four Israeli soldiers have been wounded by a roadside bomb that exploded under their vehicle in the Golan Heights near the border with Syria.

Three of the wounded soldiers are said to have sustained light to moderate injuries while the fourth is in a serious condition.

Israeli forces responded with artillery fire and confirmed that several targets were successfully hit.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu said: “A short while ago, an IDF force went over a bomb in the Golan Heights. I wish those wounded a speedy recovery.
