Latest Updates On Southern Syria, 25 Dec 2024 (Map)
After several days of inactivity in southern Syria, the Israeli army entered the villages of Suwysah and Dawayeh in southern Quneitra province.
In recent days, the southern Syrian front has seen a halt in Israeli army movements and an increase in popular protests against their occupation in the border areas of Quneitra and Daraa provinces. Despite these protests, Israeli forces continue to establish military outposts and positions in the UNDOF buffer zone and the heights of Mount Hermon.
In its latest actions, the Israeli army has deployed tanks and military vehicles on the outskirts of the Al-Mantara Dam, east of the village of Quneitra. Additionally, Israel has established specific rules, including designated entry and exit times for residents of the villages of Umm Al-Adham and Al-Adnaniyah, which are situated south of the Al-Mantara Dam.
In southern Quneitra province, Israeli forces also entered the villages of Suaysah and Dawayeh. During this occupation, Israeli tanks and soldiers destroyed trees and built embankments in the area.
In response, several residents protested against the embankments constructed by the Israeli army. However, the Zionist forces reacted to the peaceful demonstration by firing bullets and directly targeting several civilians.
Israel’s actions in occupying southern Syria indicate that the regime’s officials are ignoring Abu Muhammad al-Julani’s recent statements that the new Syria adheres to the 1974 disengagement agreement and prevents attacks on Israel.
The negative reactions from regional and international parties have not changed Israel’s position. In fact, the US unwavering support for Israel, the ambiguous stance of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) regarding the new Syrian government, and Israel’s advantage in the Palestinian-Lebanese conflict have created a situation in the region that the Zionists deem favorable for further advances in Syria.
Simultaneously with the military movements in southern Syria, the Zionists’ efforts to increase contact with the Druze and Kurds in Syria are noteworthy. The results and details of these consultations will undoubtedly influence Israel’s future actions in Syria.
