Israeli occupation forces ramped up aggression in southern Syria, staging attacks on citizens in Quneitra and carrying out more incursions in the area as well as Daraa.
SANA news agency reported an Israeli occupation patrol, consisting of two vehicles, a Hilux and a military Hummer, fired smoke bombs toward women and children in the area between the villages of al-Adnaniyah and Ruihina while they were gathering mushrooms, forcing them to flee the area.
Occupation forces also infiltrated several locations in both the northern and southern Quneitra countryside on Tuesday, detaining two young men for several hours before releasing them later, according to SANA.

In a separate incident, an Israeli occupation military force infiltrated the town of Jamlah in the western countryside of Daraa at dawn on Wednesday.
According to the Syrian state agency, an Israeli patrol comprising six military vehicles entered the town, spread through several residential neighborhoods, and carried out search and raid operations that resulted in the detention of two residents before withdrawing from the area.
The incursion caused a state of anxiety among local residents due to the heavy presence of military vehicles inside residential areas, SANA added.
Since December 2024, the Zionist entity has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes on Syria and more than 400 cross-border raids into the southern provinces.
After the fall of former president Bashar al-Assad’s regime in late 2024, the Zionist entity expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated a 1974 agreement with Syria.
