Quneitra

Um, so the ongoing Israeli occupation in Southwest Syria continues.

And there was a raid in a village, uh, called Saida Al Golan in Quneitra.

Um, and IDF troops were searching homes.

Um, don't know what their pretext was because they, they don't ever like put out statements on this, but they, um, And they captured a civilian, they kidnapped somebody, and there's other raids happening in the area.

Two of the attackers were captured, and I haven't seen any indication as to their affiliation or affiliations.

Elsewhere, the New Arab is also reporting that the Israeli military, or IDF, resumed excavation work on an earthen fortification that it's been building in southern Syria's Kunaitra province, quote, after a pause of about six weeks, end quote.

It's unclear why this work has resumed or if it means some further escalation is in the offing.

In Israel-Palestine, the IDF killed at least eight people in multiple attacks across Gaza on Sunday.

So another one here from Jason, another story about the ongoing Israeli military occupation of southwest Syria.

Um, and in the, uh, a village in Quneitra, um, they expelled a number of shepherds from the area.

They opened fire on a civilian water tanker with live ammunition and damaging it.

In another village, Israeli forces fired I- Israeli, uh, fired artillery shells at the countryside, not exactly clear what they were firing at.

Okay.

Like, I'll never forget, one time I wrote a story, you know, about, about love- love letters from a soldier in Quneitra, you know, the Syrian border over there.

And the editor comes to, "Tuvia, you write it so precisely, I can't believe you are not in Quneitra." I said, "No, baby, I was never in Quneitra."

[laughs]

"I served down in the south-"

[gentle music]

Israeli forces enter Quneitra, Syria and halt construction work.

Eight Israeli military vehicles advance south of town of Al-Rifat.

Israeli forces prevent local residents from digging foundations for constructions.

Israeli army forces entered a serious southwest in Quneitra, a countryside on Monday and blocked construction work in the area according to Usetran TV.

Al-Akhbar, the broadcaster said that, uh, six Israeli military vehicles advanced towards south of the town of Al-Rifat in Quneitra province.

Israeli forces also prevented local residents from taking foundations for construction in the area.

In a separate incident, uh, reported that Israeli forces blew up an abandoned military barracks at Tal Harbun, near the town of Beit Jinnir in the western Damascus countryside in Syria.

[clears throat] Um, Abidine li-lies in the Yarmouk Basin in western Daraa and was repeatedly targeted by Israeli artillery in September.

Israeli forces also entered an area of West Saida al-Hanout village in southern, uh, Quneitra, uh, province, with two tanks and other military vehicles and opened fire toward residential neighborhoods.

So what, did they all abandon them? How did they not hit anybody? Is that just by freak of luck? Again, Israel continues violations on the Syrian territory since the fall of the Assad regime in late twenty twenty four.

Syrian president, not Al-Sharaa, it's Jelani, raised the issue at the eighty-first UN General Assembly, saying that Israel had carried out about five hundred airstrikes and artillery attacks, more than twelve hundred incursions, and roughly three hundred arrests and detentions since late twenty twenty four.
