The latest movements follow an Israeli incursion into Jamleh on Saturday, when troops backed by armored vehicles raided several homes in what was described as an unexpected operation. Meanwhile, local fighters in Tafs City, Daraa’s countryside, mobilized in response to the raids.
Since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024, Israel has intensified its military operations in Syria, launching nearly 500 airstrikes targeting military sites in Damascus, Homs, and Aleppo.
Israeli forces advanced into the UN-patrolled buffer zone in the Golan Heights, citing the need to counter Iranian and Hezbollah presence, and expanded operations into southern Syria’s Sweida, claiming to protect the Druze community.
In northeastern Syria, strikes targeted Iranian-linked facilities near Deir ez-Zor and Hasakah, while sites near Damascus suspected of ties to Syria’s chemical weapons program were also bombed.
Israel says its actions aim to curb Iranian influence and prevent arms transfers to Hezbollah, but the escalation has drawn international criticism.
