Israel: Further rocket sirens sounding in southern Golan Heights as of early April 9 /update 2

Event

Additional rocket sirens have sounded in Avnei Eitan and Natur in southern Golan Heights, Israel, as of early April 3. The incident is under investigation. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that three rockets were launched from Syrian territory toward Israel late April 8. One of the rockets crossed into Israeli territory and landed in southern Golan Heights.

Authorities will likely maintain a heightened security posture in the impact area through early April 9. The IDF will likely launch retaliatory strikes against launch sites in Syria. Precautionary measures, such as evacuations, are possible in affected areas.

Advice

Monitor local media and abide by security forces' directives. If incoming mortar rounds or rockets are reported or warning sirens sound in the general vicinity, report to the nearest bomb shelter and await further instructions from authorities. If there is no shelter nearby, stay indoors, away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to a ground floor or basement.
