Israeli Forces Raid Quneitra in Southern Syria
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Sana via Mehr News Agency, Israeli forces moved toward the village of Breika in the Quneitra countryside in southern Syria after firing four artillery rounds at the eastern forest of Tal Ahmar on Quneitra’s southern outskirts. This advance caused no casualties or property damage.
Sana also reported that Israeli troops progressed toward the Hawd Yarmouk area near Daraa.
the latest advances occurred hours after an Israeli military strike on Tuesday targeting areas on the outskirts of Quneitra and Daraa. on Monday, Israeli forces launched three separate incursions into Quneitra’s countryside.
Damascus has consistently condemned repeated violations of its sovereignty by Israel and reaffirmed its commitment to a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United Nations in 1974 between both parties.
Israel declared its unilateral annulment of this 1974 agreement following the fall of bashar al-Assad’s regime in late 2014.
Israeli aggression and activity have recently intensified around Quneitra. Syrians complain about incursions onto their farmlands-their sole source of livelihood-as well as destruction to hundreds of dunams (each dunam equals 1,000 square meters) of forest, along wiht arrests, military checkpoints, and inspections imposed by Israeli forces on civilians passing thru these areas.
Although Syria poses no direct threat to Tel Aviv, Israel has repeatedly entered Syrian territory. Its airstrikes have resulted in civilian casualties and extensive damage to Syrian military installations,vehicles,weapons systems,and ammunition stockpiles.
