Israeli Forces Conduct Multiple Incursions in Damascus, Quneitra Countryside

Israeli forces conducted multiple military incursions into areas southwest of Damascus, including Beit Jinn, parts of Mount Hermon, and several towns in the Quneitra countryside, using around 11 military vehicles and over 60 soldiers. These operations involved raiding homes, opening fire on civilians, and seizing weapons such as RPGs, explosives, and ammunition, causing widespread panic among local residents. Syrian authorities have condemned these actions as violations of international law and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, calling on the international community to intervene. While Damascus has not issued an official response to some of the raids, the Syrian government criticized the incursions as obstructing efforts to restore regional stability. The Israeli military justified the operations by targeting suspected saboteurs and arms smuggling linked to militant activity in these strategic border areas. Tensions remain high amid ongoing Israeli patrols and outposts around the Golan Heights region as both nations continue to navigate a complex geopolitical landscape.
