Loud explosions were heard Tuesday in the occupied Syrian Golan, shortly after warning sirens were activated across the area, according to local reports.
Israeli media, including Channel 12, reported that several rockets were reportedly launched from Syrian territory toward the occupied Palestinian territories.
As of now, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
This marks the first rocket launch operation from Syrian territory against the Israeli occupation since May 5, 2024.
Shortly after the initial reports, Israeli warplanes breached the sound barrier over Syrian airspace, intensifying aerial activity across the southern region. Local sources confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Israeli drones were seen flying over the countryside of Quneitra and Daraa.
The Israeli Army Radio reported that the Israeli occupation forces had begun conducting artillery strikes against targets inside Syrian territory. The IOF also stated they were working to determine the source of the rocket launches.
No casualties have been reported thus far, but the situation remains tense amid growing cross-border escalations.
