Israel responded with artillery fire to “a number of launches” originating from Syria on Tuesday, according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

“A number of launches from Syria aimed for Israel were identified a short while ago. Part of the launches crossed into Israeli territory and presumably fell in open areas,” the IDF reported in a post on X.
