Quneitra: Israeli army forces launched a new cross-border raid into the Quneitra countryside in southern Syria, marking the latest violation of the country's sovereignty. A three-vehicle patrol moved into an area between al-Ajraf and Umm Batna villages in northern Quneitra, setting up a military checkpoint before withdrawing, as reported by the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). No immediate comments were provided by Israeli or Syrian authorities regarding this recent incursion.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli incursions in Quneitra have intensified, with locals expressing concerns over advances into their farmland, destruction of forests, arrests of residents, and the establishment of military checkpoints. The Israeli army has reportedly conducted 46 raids in southern Syria in November alone.

Government data indicates that the Israeli army has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes on Syria and more than 400 cross-border raids into the southern provinces since December 2024. 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.
