Rocket alert sirens sounding in northern border town of Ghajar
Sirens are sounding on the northern border with Lebanon, warning of incoming rocket fire.
The alerts are sounding in the village of Ghajar, which was once part of Syria and was captured by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War. It was then divided between Israel and Lebanon when Israel withdrew from Lebanon in May 2000, and the IDF moved into the northern section during the Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006.
