Israeli army forces continued its incursions on Wednesday into the Quneitra countryside in southern Syria, in the latest violation of the country’s sovereignty, local media reported.
According to the state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV, Israeli forces advanced into the Rasm al-Rawadi area and near the town of Samdaniya al-Gharbiyya in the Quneitra countryside, an area located within the disengagement zone in the occupied Golan Heights.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the media report.
Throughout August, the Israeli army carried out five incursions into Quneitra province in southwestern Syria, the latest of which took place early Tuesday, during which one person was killed.
After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in late 2024, Israel expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria.
