According to the Israeli army, three rockets were fired on Saturday evening, April 8, from Syria towards Israel. One of the rockets "landed in a wasteland in the southern Golan Heights" annexed by Israel, the army said in a brief statement, without giving further details.
She had previously said warning sirens had sounded in that area. Israel conquered in 1967 and annexed part of the Syrian Golan Heights, a strategic region also bordering Lebanon. The Jewish state has recently intensified its raids in Syria, targeting in particular the positions of pro-Iran groups, its number one enemy.
This new outbreak of violence comes after the brutal irruption of Israeli forces in the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem on Wednesday, in the middle of Ramadan, which aroused numerous condemnations.
On Friday night, a car bombing in Tel Aviv claimed the life of an Italian and injured seven people, according to the Israeli police. Earlier Friday, two Israeli-British sisters were killed in another attack in the West Bank, Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967.
