Israeli incursions and military exercises continue in Quneitra and Daraa
Israeli forces resumed digging works on the 'Sufa 53' line near Quneitra and conducted a two-day military exercise with low-altitude flights over Daraa's Yarmouk basin. Enab Baladi reported threats to Quneitra farmers' livelihoods, and villagers in Jamleh (Daraa) appealed to Syrian authorities to stop the incursions. US envoy reportedly told Israel to halt operations as it pushes deeper into Quneitra.
In detail
Sawt al-Asima reported Israeli resumption of the Sufa 53 road project near Saida village after a month-and-a-half pause, describing earthworks, watchtowers and trenches inside the buffer zone. Daraa 24 reported low-altitude Israeli military flights over the Yarmouk basin coinciding with a declared two-day exercise. Enab Baladi highlighted economic harm to Quneitra farmers. Villagers in Jamleh told Sawt al-Asima of repeated incursions and demanded government action. English-language public posts cited a US envoy urging Israel to halt operations as it pushes deeper into Quneitra, suggesting international friction. A Google News aggregator also reported protests in Aleppo against the incursions with chants referencing Netanyahu's fate.
