Syria Fires First Rockets at Golan Since Al-Sharaa's Rise

In a significant escalation, rockets were launched from Syria into the occupied Golan Heights on Monday, marking the first such attack since Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa assumed power.

According to Cairo News, this is the first incident of cross-border fire from Syria since Al-Sharaa took office, highlighting a potential shift in the security dynamics along the Israeli-Syrian frontier.

Israeli media outlets confirmed that two rockets landed in an open area in the southern part of the Golan Heights. No casualties or damages were reported.

In response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that they are targeting the launch sites in Syria. The military stressed it would continue to act against any threats originating from across the border.

The source of the rocket fire remains unclear, but Israeli analysts are monitoring the situation closely for signs of a broader confrontation or message from Damascus under its new leadership.

The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions and increasing concerns over the militarization of Syria’s border zones.
