Fragments from Syrian rocket found in central Israel

A surface-to-air missile was fired Thursday night from Syrian territory into Israeli territory, an IDF statement said.

The missile exploded over the Mediterranean Sea, and because of that, in line with policies, an air raid siren was not sounded.

On Friday morning, residents of central Israel discovered a number of shrapnel fragments on the ground. The rocket fragments will be collected by Israel Police.

" We thank the residents for their awareness and ask to avoid touching these pieces," the statement concluded.
