مصدر الصاروخين سوريا

Two rockets were found on Mt. Hermon in northern Israel on Saturday morning, hours after explosions were reported in the region during the night.

The IDF estimates the rockets were not launched deliberately at Israel, but were the result of stray fire by one of the warring factions in Syria’s civil war.

A Northern Command officer who spoke to reporters last week said that most recent incidents on the Israeli-Syrian border were a result of stray fire, but added that the IDF is aware of at least three separate incidents where Syrian soldiers targeted Israeli targets. These included an IED device that damaged an army jeep and shootings in the Hermon region.

The last few days have seen rising tensions in Israel’s north, particularly after the alleged Israeli strike on a Hezbollah target in Lebanon. Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate, leading to heightened alert in the region. Farmers have been instructed to stay away from the border for fear of snipers, and IDF firing squads were asked to remain vigilant.
