Israeli forces advanced into parts of Syria’s Quneitra countryside with tanks and military vehicles, according to local reports on Tuesday. The reported movements included the Tal al-Hawa area west of Jabata al-Khashab and locations near the former Quneitra governorate building.
Local sources said the forces moved with several military vehicles and tanks. The reports did not provide a full account of the operation, and no casualties or arrests were immediately confirmed.
Quneitra lies in southwestern Syria, close to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and the UN-monitored disengagement zone. Israel has maintained military positions and conducted repeated incursions in southern Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in December 2024. Damascus has repeatedly objected to Israeli military activity in Syrian territory.
The latest reported advance adds to a pattern of Israeli operations in the province, though details about the duration and purpose of this movement remain unclear. No Israeli statement about the specific activity was immediately available.
