Israel shelled Syria in response to sirens in the Golan Heights triggered by a rocket launched from southern Syria, reportedly by Palestinian factions with Hezbollah’s collaboration.
Israel shelled Syria on Saturday after air raid sirens sounded in settlements on the annexed Golan Heights, the army said, amid its war on Gaza.
The army also said it was examining a possible aerial infiltration from Lebanon.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that Palestinian factions working with Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group had “launched a rocket towards the occupied Golan Heights from the western countryside of Daraa” province in southern Syria.
Israel has been on high alert on its northern frontiers since October 7, when Palestinian militants launched a multi-pronged assault, breaching the Gaza border barrier and targeting southern Israeli communities and army bases.
