Sky News Arabia reported today (Monday) that the IDF has launched a significant operation in Quneitra city, with Syrian sources confirming Israeli tanks have encircled government buildings while issuing evacuation orders. Multiple social media platforms have circulated footage documenting the military presence.
Concurrent reports from Arab media outlets detailed Israeli forces entering Al-Baath city, commonly referred to as "New Quneitra," situated just 1.9 miles from the Israeli border. Military reinforcements were reportedly deployed to the area as Israeli forces approached various government buildings and institutions, instructing officials to evacuate the premises.
The pro-Iranian news outlet Al-Mayadeen confirmed that IDF tanks and armored vehicles had moved into Al-Baath with the specific objective of accessing government offices for inspection purposes.
The Israeli military presence in southern Syria has triggered widespread protests among local village residents, with several demonstrators sustaining injuries after approaching the deployed forces.
In a related development, Arab media sources reported yesterday on an attack targeting weapons storage facilities near Damascus. Foreign sources indicated that approximately 20 casualties resulted from the drone strike, which has been attributed to Israel.
