Why it matters:
Israel, which sees stability in Syria as a threat to its interests, is constantly trying to destabilize the region and prepare it for its occupation.
The recent actions by Israeli forces in Quneitra raise questions about the stability of Syria's sovereignty following the fall of the Assad government.
The big picture:
Israeli military aggressions in Syria have escalated since late 2024, with increased ground incursions and airstrikes targeting military assets. This latest advance into Quneitra underscores Israel's strategic interests in the occupied Golan Heights and its disregard for international agreements.
What it's saying:
Syrian state media reported that Israeli forces raided multiple towns, established checkpoints, and conducted a patrol operation before retreating after several hours. SANA detailed that "10 Israeli military vehicles left the Tel Ahmar base and moved toward the Bariqa–Kudna road, where they raided the village of Ruwayhina and set up a checkpoint.
