WATCH: IDF strikes Syrian military after rockets land in Israel

The IDF targeted a Syrian military position in response to launches toward Israeli territory, it said on Monday evening.

Earlier, Israeli media reported that three rockets fell in the Golan Heights after being fired from Syria.

The IDF statement confirmed the media reports, noting that the rockets fell in open areas, triggering an alert on the Home Front Command application.

In response, the IDF directed artillery fire toward the source of the launches; tanks simultaneously fired upon a Syrian military position.

The IDF said that earlier on Monday, launches from Lebanon targeting the area of Kiryat Shmona were detected.


The strikes come as tensions in the North have been slowly escalating, typically with Hezbollah, a key ally of Iran and Syria.

The Kingdom of Jordan also struck Syria on Monday, hitting targets linked with Iranian-backed drug smugglers as part of wider anti-trafficking operations. WATCH
