Syria slams new Israeli incursion in southern Daraa province

Syria's foreign ministry has criticized the latest Israeli incursion into the southern Daraa province, condemning the bombardment and military activity that occurred after Israeli forces entered the village of Abidin. Local residents attempted to stop the patrol by blocking the road with stones. This comes amid a surge in Israeli military operations, with at least 70 incursions into southern Syria this month alone, as documented by the local NGO Sijil. Such ongoing tensions highlight the persistent instability in the region and raise concerns about the potential for broader conflict escalation.
