By Ahmad El-Assasy 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.
