DAMESQUS (Dispatches) -- The 
countryside of Quneitra in southern Syria has witnessed several simultaneous Israeli incursions targeting areas near the occupied Golan Heights.
Local sources told reporters that an Israeli military patrol infiltrated the village of Umm Batna in central Quneitra shortly after midnight Tuesday, moving through several streets before withdrawing early Wednesday morning.
The sources added that another patrol entered the village of Al-Muallaqa south of Quneitra at dawn on Wednesday, where Israeli soldiers briefly set up a temporary checkpoint before retreating from the area. 
Similar movements were reported along the road connecting Al-Samdaniyah al-Sharqiyah and Al-Ajraf, where Israeli forces established another temporary checkpoint before pulling back a short time later.
In addition, a convoy of six Israeli military vehicles entered the villages of Bir Ajam and Buraika, where troops conducted a brief patrol before returning to their positions inside the Golan Heights.
The incursions are part of a series of Israeli military aggression across the Quneitra countryside that has intensified since the fall of the former Syrian government in December 2024. 
After the collapse of the official Syrian government, which was carried out through Israeli-American conspiracy and provocation, Israel was able to gain greater influence on Syrian soil, deploying its military forces a few kilometers from Damascus.
 Israel has also significantly increased its influence in Quneitra. 
Syria is now under the control of Muhammed al-Jolani, the leader of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the hardliner group, which is linked to Al-Qaeda and Daesh.
