Israeli military forces entered the junction of the village of Rasem Al-Halabi in the central Quneitra countryside in southern Syria and established a temporary checkpoint there, according to Syrian national broadcaster Al Ekhbariah. The force involved in the incursion consisted of approximately 10 military vehicles, the broadcaster reported.
The reported movement is the latest in a series of Israeli military actions in southern Syria. No further details were immediately available regarding the duration of the checkpoint's presence, the specific units involved, or any incidents at the site.
Southern Syria, particularly the Quneitra region near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, has seen repeated Israeli military activity in recent periods. The area is strategically sensitive, bordering the demarcation line between Syrian territory and the Israeli-controlled Golan.
According to Mehr News, which cited the Syrian broadcaster's report, the incursion involved around 10 vehicles and took place at the junction of Rasem Al-Halabi in central Quneitra countryside.
