Syria's Foreign Ministry issued a formal condemnation of what it describes as Israeli attacks including artillery fire and ground incursions into the Quneitra and Daraa provinces, calling the actions a violation of sovereignty and a threat to regional stability. The statement follows repeated recent Israeli operations in southern Syria, which the IDF has neither confirmed nor denied.
Damascus issued a fresh diplomatic condemnation of Israeli military activity in southern Syria on Monday morning, accusing Israel of artillery fire and ground incursions into the Quneitra and Daraa governorates. The Syrian Foreign Ministry statement, carried by state-linked channels, says the alleged actions are a 'blatant violation' of Syria's sovereignty and warns they 'threaten efforts to establish security and stability, and herald further escalation and tension in the region.'
This is the latest in a string of accusations from Syria regarding Israeli operations along the border. As The Zioneer reported at 03:31 Jerusalem earlier today, Syria filed a similar formal accusation against Israel for artillery strikes and incursions in the same areas. Overnight, the IDF struck targets in southern Syria near the village of Abdin using artillery and helicopter machine-gun fire, prompting another Syrian appeal to the UN, as reported at 08:09 Jerusalem. The IDF has not publicly commented on any ground incursions, and no independent confirmation of the alleged ground operations has emerged.
No specific timing or casualty figures for the latest alleged attacks were provided in the statement. The Syrian claim remains a single-source allegation from state-linked outlets, with no on-record Israeli or third-party verification. The area along the Quneitra and Daraa border has seen repeated Israeli activity in recent weeks, including artillery strikes on June 9 and ground operations reported by Syrian sources on June 24.
