Sirens warning of incoming rockets sounded in the Golan Heights on Monday morning, but the army said it was a false alarm.
The IDF did not say what tripped the warning system, and said it was investigating the sirens heard in Masade, Ein Gev, Ramot, Sha’ar Golan, Tel Katzir and Tel Sheva.
There have been numerous instances of errant fire or projectile strikes from fighting in neighboring Syria over the past several years entering Israeli territory, and the IDF routinely acts against them.
The latest incident of spillover into Israel from the Syrian war was in April, when three mortar shells landed in the Golan. The projectiles caused neither injury nor damage, and the IDF struck back at an Assad regime military position, which it said was the source of the mortar fire.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
