Sirens Sound In Golan Heights As Projectiles Fired From Lebanon

Israeli soldiers operate in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights near border with Syria

Sirens were heard in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights as approximately 25 projectiles were launched from Lebanon, as reported by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF confirmed that sirens went off in the settlements of Ortal and Sha'al early on Sunday following an attack by Iran involving drones, cruise, and ballistic missiles. The specific type of projectiles fired and whether they were intercepted was not disclosed.

Earlier on Sunday, a barrage of at least 10 rockets was fired from Lebanon towards Israel, according to an Israeli military spokesperson. Sirens were activated in the Upper Galilee region of northern Israel in response to the rocket fire, as stated by the IDF.

On Friday, the IDF reported that approximately 40 rockets were launched at Israel from southern Lebanon. Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, backed by Iran, claimed responsibility for firing the rockets at Israeli artillery positions. They cited recent Israeli attacks and expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza as reasons for their actions.
