ISRAEL launched a series of missile strikes in Syria today, following an incident that triggered warning sirens close to its secretive Dimona nuclear reactor.

“A surface-to-air missile was fired from Syria to Israel’s southern Negev,” the Israeli military said in a statement. “In response, we struck the battery from which the missile was launched and additional surface-to-air batteries in Syria.”

According to Syrian state news agency Sana, the Israeli attack came from the occupied Golan Heights early today and was aimed “towards positions in the vicinity of Damascus.”
