Sirens are sounding in the Golan Heights communities of Hispin and Ramat Magshimim following apparent rocket fire from Syria.

The IDF says it is investigating.

It is the first alert in the Golan since a drone alarm from Iraq sounded there in November last year. It is the first rocket fire from Syria at Israel since May 2024.
