Israeli fighter jets struck an anti-aircraft battery in Syrian territory on Saturday night after a Syrian anti-aircraft missile exploded in Israeli airspace.

The missile exploded over southern Israel, with shrapnel found in the Bedouin town of Rahat. The IDF said that there were no casualties, and no special instructions were issued following the incident. No sirens were activated. Residents of the south and center reported hearing the explosion.

On Thursday, the Israeli military carried out strikes against a rocket launch site in Lebanon.

IDF soldiers arrived near the border town of Ghajar after reports of an explosion in the area. It was learned that a projectile was fired from Lebanese territory and had exploded next to the border in Israeli territory.

The indictment is subject to a hearing, according to the Office of the State Attorney. If the decision is made to proceed, Tzachi Braverman will be tried for fraud, breach of trust and obstruction of justice.
