According to local media, the Israeli military has resumed its invasion of Syria, setting up checkpoints in the southern province of Quneitra and carrying out daily attacks, destabilizing neighboring countries and occupying and attacking Palestine.
State news agency SANA reported on Wednesday that two tanks and four military vehicles entered the town of Jabata al-Hashab in the Quneitra countryside and set up a military post on the road leading to the village of Ain al-Bayda.

Damascus had no immediate comment, but stressed Israel’s failure to abide by the 1974 Withdrawal Agreement after the 1973 war and repeatedly accused Israel of repeated violations of its sovereignty.
In this war, Syria was unable to retake the occupied Golan Heights. The 1974 agreement included the establishment of a UN-patrolled buffer zone, which Israel has violated since the fall of Bashar al-Assad last December.
Israel has long said the 1974 agreement is invalid because al-Assad violated Syria’s sovereignty by conducting airstrikes, ground infiltration operations, aerial reconnaissance, setting up checkpoints, and arresting and disappearing Syrians before fleeing. Syria has not carried out retaliatory attacks.
Back in September, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Israel had carried out more than 1,000 airstrikes and more than 400 ground invasions in Syria since the overthrow of al-Assad, an action he called “extremely dangerous.”
According to Syrian news agency Inab Baladi, many villages in Quneitra in southern Syria have experienced Israeli invasion.
De-escalation discussion
Syria and Israel are currently negotiating to reach an agreement, with the Damascus government hoping to ensure that Israeli airstrikes on territory and the withdrawal of Israeli forces that have invaded southern Syria are stopped.
The background to this is that the United States has been pushing forward with diplomatic efforts aimed at reviving the 1974 agreement. On Saturday, Trump’s special envoy, Tom Barrack, said the two countries will hold a fifth round of de-escalation talks.
As Israel continues to be at war and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promotes his idea of a “Greater Israel,” al-Shara is forging closer ties with the United States.
He is scheduled to head to Washington on Monday for talks with President Donald Trump, marking the first visit by a Syrian president to the White House in more than 80 years.
Barrack said on Saturday that Syria is expected to join the US-led anti-Islamic State (ISIS) coalition, calling it a “huge step” and “remarkable.”
Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan al-Shaibani said earlier this week that al-Shallah would also discuss rebuilding Syria with President Trump.
