Israeli Shell Kills Civilian in Southern Syria Amid Ongoing Border Tensions


(MENAFN) A civilian was killed when an Israeli tank shell struck a vehicle in a village in southern Syria’s Quneitra governorate, according to local media reports.

"Israeli occupation forces killed a young man through targeting a car with a tank shell in the village of Al-Za'rura," a news outlet reported on social media, with further details yet to emerge.

Israeli forces have continued frequent attacks on Syrian territory, including ground incursions in rural areas of Quneitra and Daraa, detaining civilians, establishing checkpoints, and damaging agricultural land.

Israel has maintained control over much of Syria’s Golan Heights since 1967. Following the fall of the al-Assad regime in December 2024, Israeli authorities declared the 1974 disengagement agreement void and advanced into the Syrian buffer zone.

Syrian officials and residents have criticized these actions, saying they undermine stability and obstruct efforts to attract investment for economic recovery.
