Syria Condemns Israeli Military Incursion

Israeli military forces consisting of two vehicles entered villages in the central Cunetra countryside in Syria. The forces reportedly penetrated the area before withdrawing. The Syrian Press Agency reported the incursion on April 24. This movement follows recent reports of Israeli military activity in the region. These actions include attacks on citizens, arbitrary arrests, and forced deportations. The incursions have resulted in the destruction of property and the desolation of agricultural lands. These activities appear to violate the 1974 separation of forces agreement. The specific impact on local populations remains a subject of report. Syrian officials stated that all recent Israeli measures in southern Syria are illegal under international law. The government called upon the international community to take responsibility and oppose these occupation practices.
