Israeli fighter jets struck a number of sites in southern Syria in response to rocket fire on the Golan Heights hours earlier, the Israel Defense Forces announces.
In a statement on X, the IDF says it struck launchers responsible for the cross-border fire.
There is no acknowledgment of the strikes from official Syrian media, but Hebrew-language media cite unspecified local reports of Israeli strikes near Daraa in southern Syria.
The IDF earlier said it had shelled the source of the launches in an immediate reaction to the rocket fire, which occured at around 9:45 p.m.
All of the projectiles launched from Syria landed in open areas, causing no damage or injuries, the IDF said.
