TEHRAN The Israeli regime has supposedly expanded its occupation of the southwestern Syrian province of Quneitra.Local sources informed regional media that the Israeli military performed an attack into the Quneitra countryside, accompanied by military support from those profession forces already deployed in the Syrian territory.
The operation supposedly focused on the destruction of Syrian military devices in the area.Regional reports state that Israeli profession forces penetrated Ain al-Nouriyah town in Quneitra, damaging residues of 2 former Syrian army units and causing panic among residents.Reports suggest that Israeli profession forces damaged 2 previous Syrian army systems, a mortar and an anti-armor rocket unit, on a strategic hill in Quneitra.The presence of the Israeli military stimulated panic amongst local residents, particularly as incursions expanded and Israeli patrols increased throughout the Quneitra countryside and Mount Hermon.This comes simply days after residents of another village in Quneitra rejected any help from the Israeli profession forces, securely stating that they would decline assistance from an entity that occupies their land.Locals told regional news firms that Israeli occupation soldiers get in and leave the village more than 10 times a day, performing home searches and instilling fear amongst females and children.Quneitra is deemed an important area in Israeli territorial aspirations, especially after the failure of the previous Syrian federal government in December 2024.
Its strategic area and distance to crucial borders make it essential for the programs more comprehensive geopolitical objectives.The area sits next to the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights and extends down to the capital Damascus, including its countryside and extending to a surrounding province surrounding Jordan.
Its geographic positioning makes it strategically significant.The Israeli military captured the whole Golan Heights and destroyed over 80 percent of Syrias military assets following the topple of the Assad federal government.
This marked a significant shift in the balance of power between Syria and its long time enemy.The new rulers in Damascus have revealed no resistance to Israeli growth and the continuous occupation of Syrian territory, allowing Israeli control to solidify without opposition.Earlier this month, The Washington Post reported that the Israeli army is building a series of long-term military settlements in numerous Syrian towns under its profession, additional entrenching its control over the region.
