Syrian authorities have not commented on the shelling and incursion, which came amid Israel’s almost-daily violations of Syria’s sovereignty.
After the fall of the Bashar al Assad regime in late 2024, Israel declared the collapse of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and moved to occupy the buffer zone along the frontier.
Despite the new Syrian administration not issuing threats toward Israel, Israeli forces have carried out air strikes in Syria since Assad’s ouster, killing civilians and targeting military sites, equipment and ammunition.
