According to SANA reports, an Israeli unit of three vehicles advanced towards the village of Bariqa and patrolled a section of the road connecting this town with Koudna in the south of the province.

The same source stated that similar assaults were carried out by Israeli forces in various areas north and south of Quneitra, where they set up temporary checkpoints, searched passers-by and obstructed movement.

The Syrian authorities denounce that these actions constitute violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and are part of what they describe as Israel’s aggressive policies in the governorates of Quneitra and Deraa.

Damascus reiterated its demand that Israel withdraw from the occupied territories and called on the international community to assume its responsibilities to put an end to these illegal practices.
