Israel says it kills several people in Syria Israel’s military says its soldiers have “eliminated several armed terrorists” in occupied areas of southern Syria. It says it will continue to operate in the area “to remove any threats” to Israeli civilians and soldiers. Israeli forces moved into a UN-created buffer zone in southern Syria, next to the occupied Golan Heights in December 2024, in violation of a ceasefire signed in 1973. According to the UN, Israel now occupies an additional 235sq km (90sq miles) of Syrian territory.

At least five Israeli military vehicles moved into the village of Abidin, also in the western countryside of Deraa, where forces set up two checkpoints in the village and searched passers-by.

Syria’s Foreign Ministry ‘strongly condemns’ Israeli attacks, incursions Syria’s Foreign Ministry has condemned Israeli incursions into the southern Syrian provinces of Quneitra and Deraa, as well as artillery shelling in the area, which the ministry said “terrorised civilians”. “The attacks constitute a flagrant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the ministry said in a statement shared by the SANA news agency. “The continued attacks undermine efforts to promote security and stability, increase the suffering of civilians in the affected areas, and risk further escalation and tension across the region.”
