Quneitra: Thirty Israeli soldiers on Sunday advanced to a village in a rural area of the Quneitra Governorate in southern Syria and searched houses, according to Syrian media.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli forces entered the village of Al-Hurriya with five military vehicles carrying around 30 soldiers in the northern Quneitra countryside.

Israeli forces have continued to target Syrian territory at an almost daily pace, carrying out ground incursions, particularly in the Quneitra and Daraa countryside in southern Syria, detaining civilians, setting up checkpoints to search and question passersby, and damaging agricultural land.

Israel has occupied most of Syria's Golan Heights since 1967 and, following the ouster of the Bashar al-Assad regime on Dec. 8, 2024, announced the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement and moved to occupy the Syrian buffer zone.

Syrians say the continued Israeli violations are undermining efforts to restore stability and hindering government attempts to attract investment to improve the country's economic conditions.
