The Israeli occupation continues its ground incursion into southern Syria, extending its control over new villages for the tenth consecutive day.
Expanding their presence to a depth of 26 km from the slopes of Mount Hermon into southern Damascus’s countryside, along the border with Lebanon.
Advancing approximately 12 km into Quneitra Province and its eastern countryside. Israeli media reported on Friday that the Israeli military is preparing for an extended presence in Syria.
The report also noted that no intelligence agency had predicted the rapid collapse of the former Syrian regime's army, and as a result, the Israeli military is now establishing a more significant presence in the region.
Two days ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the military to prepare to remain in the Syrian Mount Hermon area and the UN-patrolled buffer zone until at least the end of 2025.
