"At least five rockets fired from Syria hit different locations across the Golan Heights," the IDF confirmed in a statement.

The strikes, which occurred around 1:30 am Sunday morning, caused no casualties an army spokeswoman. Several people were treated for shock.
The spokeswoman said that it was not clear who launched the rockets. The IDF did not return fire.

In July, a rocket fired from Syria landed in northern Israel, prompting the Israeli army to shell Syrian army positions. In June, the IAF struck Syrian military headquarters and positions after an Israeli teen was killed in a cross border attack.

The Syrian rocket attack came hours after a rocket fired from Lebanon hit northern Israel on Saturday night.

"The rocket that was fired from Lebanon hit the Upper Galilee," the IDF said in a statement. The army did not return fire but sent "a strong protest" to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, which is responsible for monitoring the border between Israel and Lebanon.
