Quneitra: Israeli forces shelled farmlands in the countryside of Quneitra province in southern Syria on Monday, marking a continued violation of the Arab country's sovereignty. An artillery shell struck an area in the town of Tal al-Ahmar al-Sharqi, as reported by Syria Alikhbaria TV, although further details were not provided.

According to Anadolu Agency, this incident follows a recent attack on Friday in which a Syrian man was killed after Israeli forces targeted a car with a tank shell in the village of Al-Za'aroura, also located in the Quneitra countryside. Israeli forces have been conducting operations on an almost daily basis, targeting Syrian territories with ground incursions, mainly in rural areas of Quneitra and Daraa in southern Syria. These operations have included detaining civilians, setting up checkpoints, and damaging agricultural land.

Israel has maintained control over much of Syria's Golan Heights since 1967. Following the ouster of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December 2024, Israel announced the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement and has moved to occupy the Syrian buffer zone. This ongoing tension has been a significant concern for Syrians, who argue that the Israeli actions are undermining efforts to restore stability in the region and are hindering government attempts to attract investment necessary for improving Syria's economy.
