Israeli forces enter villages in Syrian countryside 

  • SANA say incursions are part of continuing Israeli attacks on Syrian territory

DUBAI: Israeli forces crossed into two areas in the Quneitra countryside in Syria on Wednesday before withdrawing, according to Syria’s state news agency SANA.

A SANA correspondent reported that an Israeli unit of eight military vehicles, a heavy vehicle, and two tanks advanced from Tal Kroum, toward the eastern town of Al-Samadaniyeh Al-Sharqiya, staying there for several hours before returning toward the destroyed city of Quneitra.

The report added that another Israeli force entered the village of Ofaniya, where troops raided and searched two homes before pulling back.

SANA said the incursions were part of continuing Israeli attacks on Syrian territory, which Damascus says breach the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and international law.

Syrian authorities called on the international community to take a firm stance to halt such actions.
