Air-raid sirens sounded in the Golan Heights, followed by a search for errant Syrian rockets that reportedly fell in the Sea of Galilee.

Two rockets from Syria penetrated more than 50 kilometres into Israeli territory Wednesday, the military said in a statement. Hadashot News said the projectiles landed in the Sea of Galilee Wednesday
The incursion occurred shortly after 5 p.m. when air raid sirens wailed across the Golan Heights, adjacent to the Syrian border.
The rockets were fired from the southern region of the Golan Heights and are believed to be the result of a last-ditch holdout by rebel forces to resist the return of President Bashar al-Assad.
In recent weeks, forces loyal to Assad have been consolidating their hold on villages in the south of the country in an attempt to put an end to the seven-year old civil war.
The incident was the fourth time in a week that residents of the north were sent scurrying to take cover: Tuesday, the IAF shot down a Syrian fighter jet more than two kilometres into Israeli airspace. Monday, sirens wailed as two surface-to-surface missiles were fired at Israeli territory, though they fell short of the border, landing in Syria.
Earlier this month, a Syrian drone infiltrated Israeli airspace and was shot down by a Patriot missile fired by IDF aerial defense units near the Sea of Galilee.
Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have warned Syrian and Russian officials that Israel would not tolerate breaches of the 1974 ceasefire agreement that ended the Yom Kippur War. Russia is Syria’s patron in the civil war.

军方在一份声明中说，星期三，来自叙利亚的两枚火箭射入以色列领土超过50公里。哈达斯通新闻说，这些导弹星期三降落在加利利海。
入侵发生在下午5点之后，空袭警报响彻戈兰高地，紧邻叙利亚边境。
火箭是从戈兰高地南部地区发射的，据信是叛军抵抗Bashar al Assad总统回归的最后一道防线。
最近几周，忠于阿萨德的军队巩固了他们对南部村庄的控制权，试图结束7年内战。
这起事件是一周来第四次，北方居民被赶来掩护：星期二，IAF击落了一架超过2公里的叙利亚战斗机进入以色列领空。星期一，警报响了，两枚地对地导弹在以色列领土上发射，尽管他们在边境登陆叙利亚。
本月早些时候，一架叙利亚无人飞机渗透到以色列领空，并被位于加利利海附近的以色列国防军防空部队发射的爱国者导弹击落。
包括总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在内的以色列官员警告叙利亚和俄罗斯官员，以色列不会容忍违反赎罪日战争结束的1974停火协议。俄罗斯是叙利亚内战的庇护者。
