Israeli forces raid villages in Syria's Quneitra, ransack houses
Israeli occupation forces have carried out new ground incursions into the countryside of Syria's southwestern province of Quneitra, amid heightened military activity near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Local sources reported that Israeli forces, on board four military vehicles, stormed the village of Saida al-Hanout on Saturday, broke into a number of houses, and violently ransacked them.
There were no immediate reports of injuries and abductions in the area.
Separately, three Israeli battle tanks were deployed on the outskirts of the Tel al-Dari'yat region near al-Ma'alaqah village. They retreated from the district after a couple of hours.
The developments came a few days after Israeli artillery units shelled the Yarmouk Basin area in the western Syrian province of Dara'a.
The shelling was accompanied by Israeli military overflights in the region.
The Israeli army also targeted the suburbs of the towns of Saisoun, Jamla and Aabdyn with barrages of artillery rounds. No reports of casualties were quickly available.
According to local human rights activists, Israeli occupation forces executed 254 incursions into several areas inside Syria during March, recording the second month after February with the highest number of ground offensives.
The incursions have taken place without any response, amid a suspicious silence from the Syrian regime regarding these violations.
Israeli forces continue to violate the 1975 Disengagement Agreement through repeated incursions into southern Syria.
The Israeli violations of Syrian sovereignty come despite remarks by the leader of Syria’s ruling Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, that Damascus is serious about reaching a security agreement with the Tel Aviv regime.
