Following the incidents, the airspace on the northern border, a number of kilometers from the Lebanese border, was closed to civilian flights.

Regarding the attack in Syria, the IDF issued the following statement: "IDF attack helicopters struck targets of the Syrian Army in southern Syria in response to the fire carried out earlier toward the Golan Heights. A number of targets including observation posts and means of intelligence collection in Syrian positions were struck in the attack," the statement said. "The IDF sees the Syrian regime as responsible for the fire today, and will continue to act with determination and retaliate forcefully for every violation of the sovereignty of the State of Israel."
