Israel continues cross-border aggression into Syria, escalates attacks on southern Lebanon
The Israeli regime’s forces have continued their incursions into southern Syria while intensifying airstrikes and artillery attacks on southern Lebanon.
In southern Syria on Saturday, Israeli forces pushed further into villages and rural areas in Quneitra and Daraa, conducting raids, searches and arrests while establishing military positions and checkpoints.
The incursions have become a near-continuous feature of the situation since the fall of the Syrian government on December 8, 2024.
A total of 1,068 Israeli incursions into Syrian territory were documented between December 8, 2024 and September 19, 2026, including 594 incursions in 2026 alone.
Fourteen incursions were recorded in the final weeks of 2024, followed by 460 in 2025 and 594 during the first nine months of 2026.
Israel has occupied parts of southern Syria, including the strategic heights of Mount Hermon (known in Arabic as Jabal al-Sheikh).
Lebanese sources, referring to the ongoing Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon on Saturday, said Israeli fighter jets launched heavy strikes on al-Nabatieh al-Fawqa, while the aircraft flew at low altitude over the town.
Meanwhile, Israeli army artillery shelled the outskirts of al-Dabsha and Wadi al-Salouqi and also targeted Doha Kfar Rumman and the area between Haddatha and Haris.
At the same time, Israeli media reported that five Israeli soldiers were wounded last night in an offensive in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli regime and the Lebanese government signed a so-called “Framework Agreement” in July, “mediated” by the US, with the professed aim of ending the war.
The regime, however, has ignored the agreement, carrying out further aggression against southern Lebanon.
The cumulative toll of Israeli aggression had reached 8,953 killed and 30,649 wounded between October 8, 2023 and September 25, 2026, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.
