Israeli military says six rockets were fired from Syrian territory towards Israel, one of which landed in the annexed Golan Heights.

The cross-border exchanges early on Sunday came as violence escalates on multiple fronts, including in Gaza, Lebanon, occupied East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.

There was no immediate comment from the Syrian government.

The Israeli military said there were two rounds of rockets launches from Syrian territory. The first involved three rockets, one of which landed in a field in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights.

None of the rockets caused damage or casualties.

The Israeli military said the second launch, which also involved three rockets, set off sirens in northern Israel.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket launches.

The unusual rocket fire from Syria comes against the backdrop of soaring Israeli-Palestinian tensions triggered by an Israeli police raid on Jerusalem’s most sensitive site, the sacred compound home to the Al-Aqsa mosque.

Violent scenes from the raid outraged Palestinians marking the holy fasting month of Ramadan and prompted armed groups in Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip to fire a barrage of rockets into Israel.

Israel then bombed several sites that it said belonged to the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza and southern Lebanon.

Hamas governs the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Earlier on Saturday, Israeli security forces shot and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian in the northern occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian health officials.
