Sirens blared on Tuesday evening in southern Ramat HaGolan for the first time in months after Israel’s Home Front Command issued an alert about rocket and missile fire toward the area.

Residents reported hearing the sounds of explosions.

The IDF spokesperson reported that two rockets were fired at Israel from Daraa in southern Syria. Baruch Hashem, they fell in open areas, and no injuries were reported.

About 20 minutes later, sirens were heard in central Israel and the Shfela lowlands after the Houthis in Yemen launched a missile at Israel, sending millions of Israelis to their bomb shelters. Shortly later, the IDF announced that the missile was successfully intercepted.

The IDF responded to the rockets from Syria with artillery fire at the source of the fire in southern Syria.

Following the incident, Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said that he holds Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa “directly responsible for every threat and rocket toward the State of Israel” and threatened that “the full response will come as soon.”

It is not yet known which terror group carried out the attack.
