Israeli air defence sirens sounded on Wednesday on the Golan Heights frontier with Syria and the nearby Jordanian border, the Israeli military said.
The military, which has been on high alert as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces advance against rebels near the Golan and Jordan, did not say what triggered the sirens. Israel's Channel 10 TV said Israel launched a Patriot interceptor missile, but it did not disclose the target.
