The governor of Syria\u2019s Daraa province said a patrol of eight &#8220;Israeli&#8221; military vehicles entered the Wadi al-Raqad area in western countryside in a sudden field operation.According to available information, the military vehicles reached the vicinity of the Wadi al-Raqad bridge, where they stopped and deployed in the area for a period of time, without clear details emerging regarding the nature of the mission or the reasons behind the incursion.<\/p>\n<p>The governor added that the actions carried out by the &#8220;Israeli&#8221; occupation forces [IOF] inside the area remain unclear, while a state of anticipation prevailed in the surrounding region amid the absence of any official comment on the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The Syrian Observatory also reported on that IOF had carried out another incursion into Syrian territory a day earlier, with a military unit consisting of six vehicles and a white minibus entering the town of al-Rafid in the Quneitra countryside.<\/p>\n<p>These movements came amid continued &#8220;Israeli&#8221; attacks on Syrian territory and airspace, particularly in southern Syria, including ground incursions, the establishment of temporary checkpoints, road closures, and raids and arrests targeting Syrian civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Human Rights Watch revealed that the &#8220;Israeli&#8221; occupation entity had approved a plan worth up to $334 million aimed at expanding settlements in the occupied Syrian Golan.<\/p>\n<p>The organization also stated that IOF had crossed the 1974 disengagement line and begun forcibly displacing residents from Syrian villages in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Eight &#8220;Israeli&#8221; incursions were reported in 72 hours across southern Syria\u2019s Daraa and Quneitra, including armored patrols in Maariya and Yarmouk Basin and earthworks with observation points in Tal al-Ahmar, amid claims of intensified ground activity.&#13;\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Islam Times &#8211;
