Quneitra: Israeli forces conducted a raid on the village of Bariqa in the countryside of Quneitra province, southwestern Syria, establishing a temporary checkpoint in a continued breach of the country's sovereignty.

According to Anadolu Agency, the state-run Alikhbariya channel reported that the Israeli military patrol moved into the area, marking a continuation of recent patterns of violations in southern Syria. These incursions have become nearly daily occurrences, often involving arrests and the establishment of temporary checkpoints, which have fueled public discontent.

Residents in Syria express that these continued Israeli violations are hampering efforts to restore stability and complicating government initiatives aimed at attracting investment to improve economic conditions. Despite the Syrian government's non-threatening stance toward Israel, its forces have repeatedly entered Syrian territory, conducting airstrikes that have resulted in civilian casualties and the destruction of military sites, vehicles, weapons, and ammunition.

Syrian government data indicates 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. 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, violating a 1974 agreement with Syria.
