Israeli occupation army renewed its violations of Syria’s sovereignty on Saturday by entering villages in the countryside of the southwestern Quneitra province and setting up checkpoints, Syrian media reported.
State-run Al-Ikhbariya TV said Israeli troops moved into the village of Ain Ziwan using five military vehicles and established a temporary checkpoint in the area.
Israeli occupation forces also entered the village of al-Ajraf in central Quneitra countryside with four military vehicles and set up a checkpoint to search passersby, the channel added.
The incursion came a day after dozens of Syrians held a protest in the city of al-Salam in Quneitra province to denounce the ongoing Israeli attacks on residents and property, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency SANA.

Since December 2024, the Zionist entity has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes on Syria and more than 400 cross-border raids into the southern provinces.
After the fall of former president Bashar al-Assad’s regime in late 2024, the Zionist entity expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated a 1974 agreement with Syria.
