Four rockets were fired from Syria into northern Israel, the Israeli army confirmed. Two of the projectiles landed in the Upper Galilee and two landed in the Golan Heights.

The landing of the rockets came after sirens were sounded in communities throughout the North, the JPost reported on Thursday.

Fires broke out in the area as a result of the projectile fire. Northern District firefighters were on the scene in an attempt to put out the blazes.

There were no initial reports of injuries or damage to structures.

IDF forces continued to search the area for the remnants of the rockets and local residents were told to return to their normal routines.

Earlier on Thursday, the army deployed Iron Dome rocket defense batteries to the South, near the cities of Beersheba and Ashdod, for fear of rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
