Including frequent flights, opening corridors and removing landmines | Areas at border with occupied Syrian Golan experience hectic movements by Israeli forces
Al-Quneitra province: Al-Quneitra province has experienced frequent flights by Israeli fighter jets over areas along border with the occupied Syrian Golan without executing any airstrikes.
This movement comes as a part of efforts by Israeli forces to monitor border areas and detect attempts to attack Golan, including drone attacks.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continues to open corridors towards Syrian territory, where they started paving a new road stretching to one kilometres inside Syrian territory, along with digging trenches and establishing new fortifications near the border strip.
Those procedures started on September 22, following detonation and removing of landmines in the south of Al-Qahtaniyah town in Al-Quneitra countryside.
A few days after removing landmines, an Israeli military brigade backed by tanks and earth-moving machineries advanced 300 metres into Syrian territory. The brigade was stationed in Hursh Al-Shahar area near Jabata Al-Khashab town in northern Al-Quneitra, where the Israeli machineries started to dig a four-meter-wide trench stretching from Hodr town to the “blue line” defined by the United Nations, running through Jabata Al-Khashab town. In addition, the Israeli brigade established new observation posts.
Two days ago, an Israeli drone targeted a government building that includes a police station at Al-Alam roundabout located at the eastern entrance to Al-Qunaitrah city, 1,700 meters away from the ceasefire line, which resulted in the killing of a policeman and the injury of two others.
On the other hand, Russian forces continued to entrench their presence in that region, where the number of Russian observation posts there has reached 17, the latest of which were the two posts which were established on September 25 near the border with Beir Ajam and Bariqah towns.
Those developments coincide with ongoing suspension of movements by groups working for the Lebanese Hezbollah, who are hiding in the area adjacent to the occupied Syrian Golan, inaction by regime forces stationed in military posts near the border with occupied Syrian Golan and prohibition of Hezbollah and Iranian-backed groups from entering areas located in a range of 15 kilometres from the Israeli–Syrian ceasefire line.
