Ankara: The Israeli army announced on Sunday that its forces had killed two individuals in southern Syria, marking the latest breach of the Arab country's sovereignty. Israel's public broadcaster KAN reported that army forces identified the two individuals on Saturday evening, noting their "unusual" movements within the "security zone" established by Israel in Syrian territory following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.

According to Anadolu Agency, there was no immediate response from Syrian authorities regarding this incident. Meanwhile, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that an Israeli force conducted a raid on the village of Ain al-Eid in the southwestern Quneitra countryside on Saturday. The operation involved setting up a military checkpoint and searching both passersby and a resident's home.

SANA further reported that another Israeli force, comprising four military vehicles, entered the village of Ain al-Ziwan in the southern Quneitra countryside on Friday. During this incursion, they raided a house and arrested one individual before retreating from the area. These operations are part of what Syria describes as Israel's ongoing violations of its sovereignty, which have recently included incursions, house raids, the erection of checkpoints, and the arrest of civilians, including children and shepherds.

Since the fall of the Assad regime on December 8, 2024, Israel has declared the collapse of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and has occupied the buffer zone on the Syrian side of the border. This move has been followed by continued Israeli airstrikes and ground incursions inside Syrian territory, resulting in civilian casualties and the destruction of military sites, vehicles, and ammunition.
