Why it matters:
Zionist regime’s systematic aggression in Quneitra highlights a dangerous escalation in its attempts to destabilize Syria following the fall of the central government in the south. These actions violate international law and threaten regional peace, while the international community remains disturbingly silent.
What he's saying:
Mohammad Bakr, a local activist, stated that Israel wants southern Syria to remain fragmented, dependent, and unstable, emphasizing that “this attack is a message that Israel controls every aspect of life here. Our children are afraid to go to school. Nothing is safe anymore.”
A human rights activist from Quneitra, speaking anonymously, echoed these concerns, pointing to the deliberate media blackout and international inaction, warning that “the U.S. and Western powers are deliberately ignoring these crimes, and Israel has no intention to withdraw, pushing our region into a new spiral of violence.”
Key points:
- Israeli forces opened fire on the Qunaitra Governorate building amid Eid celebrations.
- The attack caused material damage and widespread fear among civilians.
- Locals report daily explosions and fear for their children’s safety.
- Activists warn of Israel’s intent to fragment society along sectarian lines.
- The international community and Syrian government remain largely silent.
- Israel continues to expand its illegal occupation without accountability.
Go deeper:
Quneitra has been under increasing Israeli military pressure since December 2024. Residents accuse the Zionist regime of attempting to erase the province’s identity and divide its population. Calls for resistance are growing amid frustration over the Syrian government’s passive stance and the international community’s failure to address ongoing violations of sovereignty and human rights.
