Terrorists in southern Syria launched two rockets at the Israeli Golan Heights on Tuesday night, the military confirmed.
Both projectiles struck open areas, according to the IDF, causing no injuries or damage.
The attack triggered air-raid sirens in Haspin and Ramat Magshimim, sending civilians rushing to shelter just after 10 p.m. local time.

It marks the first rocket attack from Syria since May 2024, according to Israeli media.
The IDF said that it was responding with artillery fire into Syria.
On Friday, the Israeli military struck surface-to-air missiles and weapon storage facilities in the Latakia Governorate in Syria, the IDF said.
These weapons “posed a threat to international and Israeli maritime freedom of navigation,” according to the military.
“The IDF will continue to operate to maintain freedom of action in the region, in order to carry out its missions and will act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and its citizens,” the statement concluded.
The Latakia area is located in northwestern Syria on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
Last month, Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa said that his government was engaged in indirect talks with Jerusalem aimed at de-escalating tensions between the two countries, following a series of Israeli airstrikes in the wake of Bashar al-Assad’s ouster.
Since the fall of the Iranian- and Russian-backed Assad regime on Dec. 8, Israel has taken up positions inside and beyond the Golan Heights buffer zone, including on the strategic Syrian side of Mount Hermon. The Israeli Air Force has conducted hundreds of strikes on former Assad military assets to prevent them from falling into the hands of hostile forces.
Al-Sharaa was a leading figure in Al-Qaeda before founding Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which led the overthrow of the Assad regime.
