There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The incidents come amid repeated Israeli military incursions into southern Syria.

Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024, Israel has carried out repeated incursions into southern Syria after declaring the 1974 disengagement agreement void and occupying the demilitarized buffer zone.

​​​​​​​Damascus has repeatedly demanded the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Syrian territory.
