Just moments before the alerts in central Israel, sirens sounded in Hispin and Ramat Magshimim in the southern Golan Heights, following the launch of two rockets from Syria, which exploded in an open area. No casualties were reported.
This is the first time that alarms have sounded in Hispin since the end of February. On the same day four months ago alarms were activated there due to a drone intrusion. In December, the regime changed in Syria - when President Ahmed al-Sharaa came to power.

After the launches to the Golan Heights, local sources in Syria told the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen network, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, that "Israeli drones are flying in the skies over the rural areas of Quneitra and Daraa." The Syrians are also reporting artillery fire into the rural areas west of the city of Daraa in southern Syria.
