“According to the IDF, earlier in the day "two projectiles were identified crossing from Syria into Israeli territory, and fell in open areas."”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific claim that 'two projectiles were identified crossing from Syria into Israeli territory and falling in open areas' is not directly corroborated by multiple independent sources. While web search results discuss projectiles crossing into Israel, the specific detail of 'two projectiles' crossing from *Syria* and falling in *open areas* is only implied or mentioned in the context of other, different projectile events (e.g., from Lebanon). The evidence is not strong enough to meet the 'corroborated' threshold across different source types for this exact detail.
