Air raid sirens were heard in the southern part of the disputed Golan Heights in the Middle East, causing alarm and raising tensions in the region. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced this development through their official Telegram channel.
The IDF’s statement simply mentioned that “alarm sirens were heard in the southern Golan area.”
No further details or official comments have been provided at this time.
This recent incident follows a similar air raid alarm that went off in the northern regions of Israel, warning the population of a potential missile attack.
The Golan Heights remains a contentious territory in the Middle East, with the majority currently under Israeli occupation, while the eastern part is under the control of the Syrian Republic. According to publicly available information, Israel de facto annexed the territories it controls in 1981, although this annexation has not been recognized by the international community.
The United Nations (UN) has previously passed resolutions demanding Israel to withdraw from the Syrian Golan Heights.
