Israeli Forces Withdraw After Incursion into Daraa and Quneitra Areas

Israeli forces withdrew this morning after hours of incursion with a military convoy consisting of 50 vehicles into the Abu Dhiab and Cobra positions in the town of Nasiriyeh, located at the administrative border between Daraa and Quneitra governorates.

During this operation, the region witnessed earthworks and destruction at the two positions, as well as the transfer of a 122mm artillery piece from the Cobra position to the occupied Golan Heights. This incursion comes amid escalating Israeli military activity, raising concerns among local residents about the recurrence of such operations.

In recent hours, an Israeli military convoy, including tanks and military bulldozers, advanced from west of the village of Al-Asha toward the town of Al-Rafeed, passing through Al-Hayran and Al-Usbah until reaching the vicinity of Tel Al-Maher. According to information, Israeli forces managed to seize control of the Al-Hayran military post amid intense military movements, resulting in a state of tension and anticipation among the residents.

Israeli forces continue to conduct such movements intermittently for reconnaissance and to search for weapons, which increases anxiety among the local population in the area.
