SYRIA – Israeli forces on Friday conducted another incursion into Syria’s Quneitra countryside at the village of Saida al-Hanout, amid its ongoing daily ground incursions into Southern Syria.
Six Israeli vehicles, including three Humvees, two white Hilux trucks and a black van, advanced toward the village, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
On Thursday, a three-vehicle Israeli patrol advanced into the towns of Samdaniya al-Sharqiya and al-Ajraf in the northern Quneitra countryside.
Israeli forces set up a temporary military checkpoint between the towns near a demolished water tank in the area.
Israeli artillery also fired four shells on the outskirts of Koya town in the western Daraa countryside in southwestern Syria.
No information was yet available about casualties.
On Wednesday, Israeli forces advanced into Eastern al-Samdaniyah and al-Ajraf in Quneitra, setting up checkpoints between them.
The incursion involved 3 military vehicles.
The Wednesday incursion came just after another on Tuesday in Western al-Samdaniyah, where Israeli forces established a checkpoint at the junction leading to al-Mushayrifah, al-Saayda, and Ruwayhina villages in Southern Quneitra.
Syrian government data shows that since December 2024, Israel has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes on Syria and more than 400 cross-border raids into the southern provinces.
