Israeli forces entered the southwestern province of Quneitra in Syria on Wednesday evening with over 30 military vehicles, violating the country’s sovereignty, according to local official sources. The military convoy was reported to be near the village of Ain Ziywan in the eastern region of Tal al-Ahmar, where they illuminated the sky with flares. It remains unclear whether the troops retreated afterward or are still stationed in the area.

This incident follows a similar incursion earlier in the day by an Israeli force comprising three vehicles, during which they detained a shepherd and confiscated some of his livestock. As these developments unfold, the Syrian government has not issued an immediate response regarding the recent incursions, and Israel has not clarified the motivations behind these operations.

The region, particularly the southwestern areas of Quneitra and Daraa, has seen a rise in Israeli violations in recent weeks, including ground incursions, artillery shelling, and arrests. Local sources report that these actions also involve the establishment of checkpoints for searches and the destruction of crops, highlighting the tense and volatile situation in southern Syria.
