Israeli forces entered two villages in Syria’s southern Quneitra province on Saturday, marking a second incursion within 24 hours, according to Syrian state media reports.
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that shortly after midnight, an Israeli unit consisting of four military vehicles entered the Abu Madhra farm area west of Sayda al-Golan. The forces allegedly raided a home, detained a civilian, and transferred him into Israeli-controlled territory, with no immediate explanation provided.
Later the same morning, another Israeli convoy of four vehicles reportedly entered the village of Al-Asha. Troops searched several houses before withdrawing.
These developments follow a pattern of frequent Israeli military activity in southern Syria, including raids, checkpoints, and detentions reported by local media.
Since the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s government in December 2024, Israel has declared the 1974 disengagement agreement void and expanded operations in the buffer zone between the two sides. Syrian authorities maintain they still consider the agreement valid.
Israel has continued military operations in Syria despite the absence of declared threats from the current Syrian administration, with repeated strikes and incursions reported across the region.
