Khaberni - The Israeli army targeted the southern Quneitra countryside and the outskirts of Koya town in the western Daraa countryside with a number of artillery shells yesterday evening, Thursday, according to the Syrian news agency (SANA).
The Syrian agency explained that a patrol consisting of 3 Israeli military vehicles penetrated the road at Al-Muntra dam in the Quneitra countryside.
It added that an Israeli patrol also consisting of 3 military vehicles penetrated towards the entrance of the western al-Samadaniya village, and set up a checkpoint to inspect passers-by on the road leading to the village of Al-Rawadi and continuing to the village of Al-Ajraf.
The Syrian news channel reported that the Israeli army artillery fired 4 shells at the outskirts of Koya town in the western Daraa countryside. It was not immediately clear what the bombing resulted in terms of losses.
The bombing comes within the framework of Israeli attacks and violations repeatedly targeting the sovereignty of Syria, despite regional and international condemnations and demands to put an end to them and to oblige Tel Aviv to respect international law and the relevant U.N. resolutions.
In the context of efforts to contain the tension, US President Donald Trump, in a post on his platform "Truth Social" last Monday, urged Israel to maintain a "strong and real dialogue" with Damascus, and to ensure that "nothing happens that could conflict with Syria's development into a prosperous state".
In recent months, Israeli-Syrian meetings have been held in an effort to reach security arrangements that guarantee Tel Aviv's withdrawal from the Syrian buffer zone, which it occupied in December 2024.
Israel continues to carry out ground incursions and air raids that have killed civilians and destroyed Syrian military sites, vehicles, weapons, and ammunition.
Israel has occupied the Golan since 1967, then expanded after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime into the buffer zone and Mount Hermon in southern Syria, and declared the collapse of the Separation of Forces Agreement concluded between the two sides since 1967.
Israel invokes various pretexts to justify its attacks, sometimes claiming it wants to keep southern Syria demilitarized, sometimes claiming to target groups associated with Hezbollah, and sometimes justifying it under "protecting the Druze minority", while Damascus describes these pretexts as an "excuse for ongoing aggression" on its territory.
