Israeli military forces responded to a series of shells launched from northern Syria into open areas within Israeli territory by firing artillery and mortar shells back toward Syria on Tuesday, according to Israel’s military.

In a separate incident, a Palestinian faction in southern Syria reportedly fired three rockets toward Israel, causing concerns that the escalating violence could potentially trigger a broader conflict. This situation unfolds amid Israel engaging in cross-border exchanges with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and ongoing battles with Hamas militants in Gaza. The military stated that its soldiers targeted the source of the launch in Syria without specifying further details.
