Israeli Military Carries Out Ground Incursion Into Southern Syria

Damascus- Israeli forces have carried out a ground invasion into Syria's southwestern province of Dara'a, despite ongoing talks on what authorities have described as“a security agreement.”

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that the incursion took place on Sunday, adding that Israeli troops also conducted raids in the Saysoun and Jamlah towns, which are located near the 1974 ceasefire line that serves as the de facto border between the two sides.

This comes as Israel continues to carry out air raids in various locations in the Syrian capital, Damascus.

The latest incursion came a day after Syria's self-proclaimed president, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, announced the initiation of talks with Israel to re-establish the 1974 agreement, which was established after the 1973 war between the two sides.

The Israeli and Syrian regimes have held direct talks in recent months aimed at halting Tel Aviv's aggressive actions towards the Arab country and reaching a“security agreement.”

Israel has conducted repeated acts of aggression across the Syrian territory following the collapse of former President Bashar al-Assad's government last year.

Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered his forces to push deeper into Syrian territory and seize several strategic locations in the country.
