‘Israeli’ forces advanced on Wednesday into several villages in southern Syria’s Quneitra countryside, establishing military checkpoints and carrying out on-the-ground searches, Syrian media reported.
An ‘Israeli’ force made up of 10 military vehicles entered the village of Saida al-Hanout in southern Quneitra, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency SANA.
Five vehicles set up a checkpoint west of the village, while the remaining vehicles moved toward Saida al-Jolan, where another checkpoint was established in the center of the village.

In a separate incident, another ‘Israeli’ force consisting of three military vehicles advanced into the village of al-Samadaniya al-Sharqiya in northern Quneitra. The force set up a checkpoint on the road linking the village with Khan Arnaba, conducted searches of passersby, and disrupted movement between nearby towns.
The area has seen repeated incursions in recent days. On Tuesday, 'Israeli' forces entered the destroyed city of Quneitra and the village of al-Samadaniya al-Sharqiya. Agricultural land south of the town of Jabaata al-Khashab was also shelled with four mortar rounds.
Syrian authorities say these incursions constitute continued violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, citing raids, arrests, and land bulldozing as actions that are fueling tensions in the area.
In an official response, Syrian officials stressed that all measures taken by ‘Israel’ in southern Syria are “null and void” and carry no legal effect under international law, calling for the full withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces from Syrian territory.
