Israeli forces enter northern Quneitra suburbs with armored patrol, report says

An Israeli military patrol entered areas in the northern suburbs of Quneitra in southern Syria, according to a report carried by the Al-Ahed news website and cited by Mehr News. The report said the force consisted of seven military vehicles and two tanks.

According to the account, the patrol stormed Tal al-Hawa, west of the town of Jabata al-Khashab, in the northern suburbs of Quneitra. The force was also reported to have deployed in front of the old governorate building in the city of Al-Salam.

The report did not specify the time of the reported movement, the duration of the deployment, or whether any clashes or casualties occurred. It also did not state whether the vehicles later withdrew from the area.

Quneitra, in southern Syria near the frontier with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, has repeatedly been the scene of reported Israeli military activity in recent years. Such reports have typically described armored patrols, deployments and strikes in the governorate, which is subject to a long-standing disengagement arrangement.

No official Syrian or Israeli statement on the reported incident was included in the account. The details could not be independently verified.

According to Mehr News, citing the Al-Ahed news website, the patrol comprised seven military vehicles and two tanks and deployed in front of the old governorate building in Al-Salam after entering Tal al-Hawa.
