Israeli military forces conducted multiple incursions into southern Syria, specifically infiltrating the towns of Bareeqa and Bir Ajam in the Quneitra countryside. The patrols included armored vehicles and soldiers. Syrian authorities condemned these actions, describing them as severe military incursions and violations of international law. The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community, including the United Nations Security Council, to take action to halt these violations. Additionally, Israeli forces launched drone strikes near Damascus, targeting military sites around the al-Kiswah area, resulting in the deaths of six Syrian soldiers from the 44th Division. Syrian state media confirmed the casualties and reported that the strikes coincided with Israeli aircraft activity. There were also reports of two additional Syrian soldiers killed by a landmine explosion in the Damascus countryside. The Syrian government condemned these attacks and the continued Israeli military presence on the summit of Mount Hermon (Jabal al-Sheikh) and the buffer zone, labeling it an illegal occupation. Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the Israeli violations, including incursions into Syrian territory and attacks that caused civilian deaths. Saudi Arabia expressed strong condemnation of Israel's ongoing violations and incursions into Syrian lands. Meanwhile, Syrian media reported Israeli forces firing illuminating flares over the town of Suwayda in Quneitra and conducting arrests of civilians in the area. Humanitarian aid convoys consisting of 31 trucks carrying food, health, and medical supplies arrived at Izra bridge in Daraa countryside, heading towards the Suwayda province amid the ongoing tensions.
