This act has sparked anger and sorrow among many Syrians, as Quneitra holds symbolic significance for them.
After the city was liberated in 1974, then Syrian President Hafez al-Assad raised his country’s flag at this exact location. Since then, it has been called “Assad Square,” later also known as “Al-Alam Square” (Flag square).
Reports indicate that this scene was recorded in a destroyed section along the front lines where the Israeli army established a new base following the withdrawal of Syrian government forces last December. Syrian sources also state that Israeli forces have set up a checkpoint at Al-Alam Square and are controlling pedestrians.
