The Israel Defense Forces says two rockets were launched from Syria at northern Israel earlier, setting off sirens in the Golan Heights town of Avnei Eitan.

The IDF says both rockets landed in open areas, causing no damage.

Separately, the IDF says it launched an Iron Dome missile at a “suspicious target” that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon, but further details are under investigation.

The second incident set off an alarm in the northern town of Alma, close to the Lebanon border.

Israel has traded fire with Hezbollah and allied Palestinian factions several times in Lebanon in recent days, which have included rocket fire and drones being launched at Israel.
