Israeli forces have invaded an area in the suburbs of the city of Quneitra in southern Syria with tanks and military vehicles, in their latest reported incursion into Syrian territory.
– According to Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen network, the forces entered the Tal Abu Qubais area in the Quneitra countryside on Monday morning with two tanks and a number of military personnel carriers.
– The incursion came after Israeli forces recently entered the village of Ain Ziwan in the province of the same name with five military vehicles and established a checkpoint inside the village.
– Israeli attacks have also affected the southern Syrian province of Dara’a, which has been targeted multiple times so far.
– The nature of the incursions targeting Dara’a has been more extensive, involving artillery strikes, ground attacks, and intensive warplane flights.
– The Israeli regime has expanded its illegal presence in parts of southern Syria, including the strategically important Jabal al-Sheikh (Mount Hermon) highlands, since December 2024. That month saw Takfiri terrorists overthrow the government of the Arab country’s President Bashar al-Assad amid aerial backup being provided by Tel Aviv.
– The regime has exploited the security vacuum that followed the fall of Assad’s government by carrying out attacks against Syria’s defensive installations and equipment.
– Ever since the overthrow, Syria’s new United States-backed officials have repeatedly floated the notion of “normalizing” the country’s relations with Tel Aviv.
