Israeli forces shell Quneitra in latest breach of Syrian sovereignty
Israeli troops reportedly fired multiple artillery shells from positions in Tel al-Ahmar al-Gharbi — an area under Israeli occupation — toward Tel al-Ahmar al-Sharqi near the village of Kudna in southern Quneitra, as stated by Syrian state media. No information was immediately available regarding casualties or property damage.
Recent weeks have seen nearly daily Israeli violations in southern Syria, including arrests and the establishment of temporary checkpoints, which have fueled public frustration, according to reports. Observers say such actions hinder efforts to restore stability and complicate the government’s attempts to attract investment aimed at improving economic conditions.
Despite there being no threat from the Syrian government, Israeli forces have repeatedly crossed into Syrian territory and conducted airstrikes, resulting in civilian deaths and the destruction of military facilities, vehicles, weapons, and ammunition. Syrian government data indicate that since December 2024, Israel has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes and more than 400 cross-border raids into the southern provinces.
Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in late 2024, Israel expanded its occupation of the Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated the 1974 agreement with Syria, according to reports.
