An Israeli army patrol entered Al-Samdaniyah in Quneitra, southern Syria, on Saturday, April 25, and set up a checkpoint on the road linking Khan Arnabeh to the village.
Israeli forces also entered Jubata al-Khashab, with seven military vehicles deployed in the town’s streets.
The forces searched several homes in the town after entering it at midnight.
At the same time, Israeli army forces are working to complete fortification works at Tal al-Ahmar by placing prefabricated rooms and raising earthen berms in the southern part of the governorate, according to Enab Baladi’s correspondent in Quneitra.
Israeli Expansion at Tal al-Ahmar Sharqi
Southern Quneitra countryside witnessed a field escalation over the past week, with Israeli military movements that included bringing prefabricated rooms to Tal al-Ahmar Sharqi, alongside incursions and the setting up of checkpoints in several areas.
Enab Baladi’s correspondent in Quneitra reported that
Israeli army forces moved three prefabricated rooms to Eastern Tal al-Ahmar, in southern Quneitra province, on Friday, April 17.
This comes as part of the expansion work at the base established on the hill after the fall of the previous regime and the Israeli forces’ advance into the buffer zone. The correspondent added that Israeli forces had earlier shelled areas surrounding the hill with artillery rounds.
Eastern Tal al-Ahmar holds a strategic geographic position in the southern part of Quneitra province, as it lies inside the buffer zone along the barbed-wire fence.
Notable Escalation
Quneitra Media Directorate said the province had witnessed noticeable field escalation over the past few days, marked by a series of Israeli military movements and incursions on several fronts.
It added that three military vehicles, accompanied by an ambulance, entered Eastern Al-Samdaniyah, while another incursion took place on the road linking Eastern Al-Samdaniyah and al-Ajraf, where a temporary checkpoint was set up, and passersby were searched.
The forces also positioned themselves in an abandoned house east of Eastern Al-Samdaniyah, on the outskirts of Tal Kroum, from dawn until the evening. The directorate also confirmed that the Israeli army brought in three trucks carrying three prefabricated rooms to Eastern Tal al-Ahmar in southern Quneitra countryside, which it said indicated a new phase of expansion at the site.
This coincided with intensive Israeli warplane activity over the area, along with a state of alert and active movement by UN forces around Tal Kroum since the morning, as field monitoring and follow-up operations continued to document any new military or security developments.
The Israeli army set up a search checkpoint in central Quneitra countryside during an incursion on Thursday, April 16.
Enab Baladi’s correspondent in Quneitra said an Israeli army patrol advanced in the vicinity of al-Mantara dam and Rasem al-Halabi, in central Quneitra countryside.
The Syrian government, meanwhile, is demanding the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the positions they entered after the fall of the Assad regime on December 8, 2024, and considers this a basis for negotiations on a security agreement with Israel.
In contrast, Israeli officials have repeatedly said that their forces will not withdraw from the positions they entered, justifying the move as a defense of Israeli national security.
