Israeli Army Intensifies Cross-Border Raids into Southern Syria

Quneitra: Israeli army forces continued their incursions on Wednesday into the Quneitra countryside in southern Syria, marking the latest breach of the country's sovereignty, local media reported. The Israeli forces advanced into the Rasm al-Rawadi area and approached the town of Samdaniya al-Gharbiyya, both situated within the disengagement zone in the occupied Golan Heights.

According to Anadolu Agency, there has been no immediate comment from the Israeli army regarding the media report. The repeated incursions throughout August have raised tensions, with the Israeli army reportedly conducting five operations in the Quneitra province in southwestern Syria. The most recent incursion occurred early Tuesday, resulting in the death of one individual.

Following 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, contravening the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria. This expansion has been met with criticism and concerns over escalating conflicts in the region.
