Quneitra:Israeli forces have shelled an area in Syria's southern Quneitra province and abducted two young men in a separate raid, as reported by media outlets.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, Alikhbariah TV reported that Israeli forces fired four artillery shells at a forested area near Briqa village in central rural Quneitra. In a separate incident, Israeli forces conducted raids on several homes in the town of Jabata al-Khashab in northern rural Quneitra, leading to the abduction of the young men.

The Quneitra and Daraa provinces in southern Syria have seen repeated Israeli incursions marked by military checkpoints, home searches, and civilian detentions. The Quneitra Media Directorate, citing Syria's official SANA news agency, documented 125 Israeli incursions and 55 checkpoints established in the province in October. Additionally, the uprooting of 300 olive trees in the village of Saida al-Hanout and west of Mazraat al-Hanout was recorded during the same period.

Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8, 2024, Israel has expanded its military presence in the buffer zone along the occupied Syrian Golan Heights and has conducted incursions into other areas of southern Syria. These actions have persisted despite the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement between Syria and Israel, which established a UN-monitored buffer zone.
