(MENAFN) Israeli forces raid villages in the countryside of Syria’s Quneitra province on Saturday and open heavy fire, according to a news agency.

The forces target a forest area near the villages of Koudna and Tell Ahmar al-Sharqi, firing several artillery shells into the region.

Syrian authorities do not immediately comment on the incident.

Israeli military activity in southern Syria intensifies in recent months, with near-daily reports of raids, home searches, checkpoint installations, and arrests of civilians, including children and shepherds.

After the removal of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime on Dec. 8, 2024, Israel declares the 1974 disengagement agreement void and moves into the Syrian buffer zone.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa says talks with Israel progress with difficulty, as Israel insists on maintaining a presence on Syrian territory.
