Israeli forces have fired artillery shells and machine guns at areas in the western countryside of Syria’s Daraa province, with no injuries reported.
Syria’s SANA news agency reported on Monday that Israeli forces shelled the Abidin and Al-Raqqad valleys and targeted the outskirts of Jamla village in the Yarmouk Basin early that morning.
Israeli forces also opened fire from one of their positions along the 1974 disengagement line toward the outskirts of Abidin town.
The attacks came a day after Israeli forces twice shelled the countryside of southern Quneitra province within hours, targeting an area southeast of Al-Rafid town and woodland near Bir Ajam village with artillery fire, according to SANA.
Frequent raids into Syrian territory
Following the fall of Bashar al Assad’s regime in December 2024, Israel expanded its occupation of Syrian territory, seized the buffer zone and declared the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement between the two sides collapsed.
The agreement established a buffer zone under Syrian sovereignty to separate Syrian and Israeli forces, with the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) tasked with monitoring its implementation.
Despite the Syrian government posing no threat to Tel Aviv, Israel has repeatedly raided Syrian territories and carried out air strikes that have killed civilians and destroyed Syrian military sites, vehicles, weapons and ammunition.
