A rocket fired from Syria fell in the Golan Heights near Tel Fares on Tuesday evening, Israeli media reported. No injuries or damage were reported.

The IDF could not confirm the reports, and was sweeping the area in search of the rocket’s possible landing site.

It is still unclear whether the rocket was intentionally fired at Israel, or was a result of fighting between the Syrian army and rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad.

Earlier on Tuesday, a Palestinian projectile fired from Gaza exploded in the Eshkol Region of southern Israel. The explosion occurred in an open area, and did not cause any injuries.

The IDF said it did not immediately know if the projectile was a mortar shell or a rocket.

Earlier on Tuesday, a Palestinian mortar fired at Israel failed to cross the border, and fell inside the Gaza Strip.
