Israeli forces launch incursion into southern Syria: Report
Israeli troops advanced into southern Syria’s Quneitra region, sending a convoy of military vehicles towards the strategic al-Tal al-Ahmar area.
At least 12 vehicles – including pick-up trucks, troop carriers, and jeeps – moved out from the occupied town of al-Hamidiyah and crossed into Ofaniya village before continuing towards the al-Tal al-Ahmar, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
In recent months, the Israeli army has staged several cross-border raids into Syria’s southern provinces, including Quneitra, despite international calls to halt violations of its sovereignty.
After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in late 2024, Israel expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing a “buffer zone”, a move that violated the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria.
