Early Saturday, the Israeli army launched strikes in Syria after two rockets from Syria landed in northern Israel. Confirming the incident, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated they are targeting the sources of the rocket fire. The exact impact locations remain undisclosed. Israel considers the Golan Heights, annexed from Syria, as part of its northern region. While Israel rarely comments on specific strikes, it consistently opposes Iran's presence in Syria. Tensions persist with frequent exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah along the Lebanon-Israel border, resulting in casualties on both sides. Israel warns of escalated military action if Hezbollah does not withdraw.
