Israeli occupation forces carried out fresh attacks on Syrian territory on Saturday, targeting the Bir Ajam area in Quneitra province with artillery shells and striking the Wadi al-Raqad area in the Daraa countryside, according to news sources and local Syrian reports.
The strikes came as Israeli forces entered the affected area with approximately nine military vehicles, continuing a series of operations concentrated in Syria's southern provinces.
The latest attacks extend a sharp escalation in Israeli military activity against Syrian territory that began in December 2024 following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government. The operations have increasingly affected civilian communities across southern Syria, where residents face ongoing ground incursions, arrests, artillery fire and newly established checkpoints.
Artillery shelling struck the Bir Ajam area in Quneitra province, while separate attacks were reported in the Wadi al-Raqad area of the Daraa countryside. Local Syrian sources confirmed both incidents.
Israeli occupation forces entered the affected area with about nine military vehicles, according to published reports. The presence of ground vehicles indicates a coordinated operation extending beyond aerial or artillery strikes alone.
Israeli military activity against Syrian territory has sharply increased since December 2024, when Bashar al-Assad's government fell. The southern provinces of Quneitra and Daraa have borne the heaviest concentration of these operations.
The attacks have taken multiple forms, including ground incursions, arrests of civilians, artillery strikes and the establishment of checkpoints. This combination of tactics has created persistent pressure on communities living near Syria's southern border region.
According to figures from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 594 Israeli attacks on Syrian territory were recorded between the beginning of 2026 and September 19. The monitoring group's tally underscores the sustained frequency of operations across the year.
The data indicates that most of these attacks have been concentrated in the southern provinces of Quneitra and Daraa, aligning with the locations of the latest reported incidents.
The latest strikes in Bir Ajam and Wadi al-Raqad have been confirmed by local sources, though official casualty figures and the full extent of damage have not yet been released. Additional information regarding the outcome of these operations remains awaited.
