New Israeli incursion into the countryside of Quneitra and establishment of a military checkpoint

A patrol belonging to the Israeli occupation army infiltrated today, Saturday, into the village of Ain Ziwan in the countryside of Quneitra governorate in southern Syria, where the infiltrating forces proceeded to establish a military checkpoint to inspect passersby.

The Israeli army renewed its violation of Syrian sovereignty through this incursion, noting that the occupation army used 5 military vehicles to install the inspection checkpoint in the village.

This development comes one day after Israeli forces infiltrated towards the towns of Al-Asha, Bir Ajam, Briqa, Um Al-Othaim, and Ruweihina in the southern countryside of Quneitra.

Yesterday, Friday, the city of Salam in Quneitra governorate witnessed a protest stand where dozens of Syrians participated, condemning the ongoing Israeli aggressions against citizens and their property.

The participants in the stand - organized by "Syrians with Palestine" in cooperation with the governorate's sons - raised banners affirming popular rejection of the occupation's repeated violations of Syrian lands.

The occupation forces have been carrying out semi-daily incursions in southern Syria, specifically in Quneitra governorate, interspersed with arrests, setting up barriers, and land leveling, which has sparked a rising wave of popular anger.

Despite the decline in direct military threats, the Israeli army continues to launch air raids that result in civilian casualties and the destruction of sites and facilities belonging to the Syrian army.

It is worth noting that Israel had announced following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8, 2024, the collapse of the "disengagement agreement" concluded in 1974, and began occupying the buffer zone and infiltrating deep into Syrian territories.

Syrians see that the continuation of these violations hinders efforts to restore stability in the region and undermines initiatives aimed at improving the economic reality in southern Syria.
