Four rockets were launched from Syria towards the occupied Golan Heights, the Israeli Army announced Tuesday.
EXPLOSIONS OCCURED NEAR SYRIA’S CAPITAL

US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation in March officially recognizing the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as Israeli territory, triggering a firestorm of criticism.
Israel occupies roughly two-thirds of the wider Golan Heights as a de facto result of the 1967 Middle East war. It moved to formally annex the territory in 1981 — an action unanimously rejected at the time by the UN Security Council.
