Syria: Israeli forces target the Quneitra countryside with artillery shells

Today (Wednesday), Israeli forces targeted with several artillery shells the vicinity of Tal al-Ahmar al-Sharqi in the southern countryside of Quneitra in southern Syria.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that “the occupation forces fired two shells that fell on agricultural lands in the vicinity of Tal Al-Ahmar Al-Sharqi, without causing any casualties.”

According to the agency, “The Israeli occupation continues to violate the 1974 Disengagement Agreement through its repeated incursions into southern Syria, raiding civilian homes and arresting them, leveling lands, and carrying out missile and other attacks.”

Syria is constantly demanding the withdrawal of Israeli forces from its territory, stressing that all the measures it is taking are null and void, and do not have any legal effect in accordance with international law. It also calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities and oblige Israel to withdraw completely from southern Syria.

The Yemeni army doubled the losses of the Houthi group on several fronts during the past hours, announcing the implementation of hundreds of targeting operations that resulted in the neutralization of about 500 Houthi elements and the destruction of dozens of military vehicles, in conjunction with the continuation of Operation “Yemen Dawn” and the renewal of violent battles south of Taiz.

Government forces and the popular resistance in Taiz repelled Houthi attacks on the Al Shaqab front, yesterday (Tuesday), amid bombing that targeted villages in Jabal Sabr, while confrontations continued in Sanamat and Al Misrakh. Air strikes and drone attacks extended to the group’s positions in Ma’rib and Al-Jawf, while the “Giants’ Forces” thwarted a large-scale attack in the Kahbub Mountains west of Lahj, near the passes leading to “Bab al-Mandab.”

Politically, the head of the Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, confirmed that “Yemen Dawn” will continue until its goals are achieved, in parallel with his demand that the United Nations support a move through the Security Council to classify the Houthis as a terrorist organization, impose a ban on supplying weapons to them and dry up their sources of funding, calling for lifting the siege on Taiz and opening roads for humanitarian supplies.

Yesterday (Tuesday), executive and legislative institutions in Iraq waved sanctions against opponents of the “arms control” project. The ruling “Coordination Framework” coalition confirmed its commitment to the agreement to resolve the arms issue by June 30, 2027.

The government also announced that it would oblige its institutions to implement the law and file criminal complaints “against anyone who undertakes, participates in, or contributes to obstructing the state’s decisions to restrict weapons.”

In turn, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Haibat Al-Halbousi, announced his support for the government’s measures to protect civil peace, enforce the law, and confine weapons to the state.

In a simultaneous development, Turkish Defense Minister Yaşar Guler said that his country “will keep its forces in Syria and Iraq until the security of the borders with its two neighbors is fully guaranteed,” noting that “the structure of the forces and our positioning are determined... according to the development of the terrorist threat, the security of our borders, and developments on the ground.”
