Syria’s Internal Security Directorate said overnight that its forces had uncovered several Grad rockets hidden in the village of al-Harah in the southern Daraa province, about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from the Israeli border.

The statement does not identify who is behind the cache.

According to the statement, security forces arrived at the scene and “took the necessary measures to ensure the safety of residents.” Footage released by the authorities shows the rockets being seized.
