Israel's military said its Iron Dome interceptor system shot down a rocket that had been fired at the northern part of the occupied Golan Heights on the Syria frontier Sunday, after Damascus accused Israel of air raids in the country's south.
"A short while ago, a rocket was fired at the northern Golan Heights and was intercepted by the 'Iron Dome' aerial defense system," a military statement said.
The military statement did not specify where the rocket had been launched from. The northern Golan is also close to Lebanese territory.
The incident came shortly after Syria said it had thwarted an Israeli airstrike in its south, a statement that the Israeli military declined to comment on.
