According to Syrian media outlets, five Israeli military vehicles advanced yesterday from Tel Abu Al-Ghaithar toward Abu Madhara village, while troops stationed at western Tel Al-Ahmar opened fire toward farmland near Kudna. Forces also fired at shepherds near the Al-Razaniyah and Al-Hanout farms, west of Saida Al-Jolan village, reportedly to prevent them from reaching grazing areas.
The Syrian monitoring group Sijil Center documented at least 88 alleged Israeli violations across Quneitra, Daraa, Damascus, and Rif Dimashq between October 8 and 14.
