Syria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned on Sunday that ongoing Israeli incursions and violations are undermining efforts to achieve security and stability, as well as hindering reconstruction and recovery.
The ministry issued a statement condemning a recent escalation of Israeli actions in the Quneitra and Daraa provinces in southern Syria. These incursions reportedly coincided with increased activity by Israeli helicopters, reconnaissance drones, and warplanes in the airspace over southern Syria.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry described these movements as a "blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic and its territorial integrity," posing a threat to the safety and security of citizens. The statement emphasized that these continued violations jeopardize the prospects for stability and security in the region, particularly in Syria, and impede reconstruction efforts.
Syria called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities to end these violations and compel Israel to comply with international law and relevant UN resolutions. The ministry stated that such compliance would help "spare the region further tension and create the necessary conditions for achieving lasting security and stability."
Earlier on Sunday, the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that an Israeli force, including a tank and several military vehicles, had advanced west of the Al-Hanout farm in southern Quneitra and began bulldozing olive groves. SANA also reported that Israeli forces fired artillery shells near Tel Ahmar in northern Quneitra and launched illumination flares west of Al-Asha village in southern Quneitra.
In western Daraa province, an Israeli force reportedly set up a checkpoint in the Al-Aqrabiyah area, disrupting local movement before withdrawing. Additionally, Israeli forces released two young men they had arrested on Saturday while they were working in olive fields near Taranga village in northern Quneitra.
