Syrian state media has reported a significant escalation of Israeli military activities within the occupied Golan Heights region. According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), an armored contingent comprising 18 military vehicles and a large armored personnel carrier advanced from interior positions to establish a new operational base at Tel Ahmar Gharbi in the southern sector of Quneitra governorate.
The military expansion continued with the deployment of forces into the village of Ruehina, where Israeli troops installed two permanent checkpoints as part of broader operational movements across the territory. These developments follow similar incursions conducted the previous day when Israeli forces entered the villages of Bir Ajam and Bariqa al-Qadima, conducting searches of residential properties that generated heightened tensions among local communities.
Damascus has characterized these actions as systematic violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, which established buffer zones and demilitarized areas between Israeli and Syrian forces. Syrian officials accuse Israel of pursuing increasingly aggressive policies through repeated military incursions into both Quneitra and Daraa governorates, accompanied by reported attacks against civilian populations.
The Syrian government has formally reiterated its demand for full implementation of relevant United Nations resolutions concerning the occupied territories. Officials have called upon the international community to exercise its responsibilities in curtailing what Damascus describes as illegal occupation practices, urging diplomatic pressure to halt the ongoing military expansion in the region.
