Five rockets were fired from Syrian territory into Israel on Monday, the IDF stated. The rockets reportedly fell in open areas. Separately, Hezbollah said the four of its fighters were killed in southern Lebanon.

An earlier report regarding the rocket attacks noted that they landed on a road near two communities in the Golan Heights. In response to the attacks, the IDF reported that it had targeted the sources of the rocket fire.

Also on Monday, the IDF said that it had struck Hezbollah infrastructure.

The IDF stated that the Hezbollah position had been used earlier in the day to fire rockets toward Adamit, an Israeli community located less than a kilometer from the border with Lebanon.

Israeli media subsequently shared dashcam footage reportedly showing the fall of one of the rockets in the Golan Heights. The footage quickly spread on social media.

Four Hezbollah terrorists killed in southern Lebanon

Late on Monday night, Reuters reported that Hezbollah had updated its toll of fighters killed in southern Lebanon to four.

The statement was reportedly released to the Lebanon-based Iranian proxy's Telegram channel.

Reuters reported that the terrorist group said its fighters "were martyred on the road to [liberate] Jerusalem" but did not specify how they had been killed.

The international news agency added that security sources had reported the first three were killed in an Israeli raid on two houses in the town of Kafr Kila in southern Lebanon.

This comes after the IDF said on Saturday that Israel Air Force fighter jets struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the town.
