Israeli Aircraft Drops Warning Leaflets in the Countryside of Daraa

Israeli warplanes dropped paper leaflets over the village of Koya and surrounding areas in western rural Daraa, warning residents against armed movement within the area or crossing the valley toward the Yarmouk Basin.

These warnings come at a sensitive time and are expected to escalate the security situation in this border region.

Despite attempts by some to downplay the significance of these warnings, this move is seen as yet another provocation by Israel against the local population, as Syria grapples with increasing tensions due to multiple foreign interventions.

These leaflets, which carry direct threats, add to a series of recent Israeli escalations in southern Syria, highlighting the ongoing conflict over critical water resources in the Yarmouk Basin.

Social media reactions revealed significant concern among residents and commentators, who expressed frustration over Israel’s persistent interference. One user remarked, "Israel’s arrogance knows no bounds—even Arab states haven’t issued any condemnation," while observers remain focused on how local factions will respond to this growing Israeli threat.

Another comment reflecting residents’ dismay at these threats stated, "May God protect them," referring to the locals facing immense challenges on multiple fronts. Others pointed to the strategic importance of water in this agriculturally rich region, which remains a focal point of conflict among various parties.

The incident sheds light on new dimensions of the conflict in southern Syria, where the struggle is increasingly becoming a war over control of natural resources, amid escalating Israeli attacks on Syrian territory.
