On Tuesday, the Israeli occupation army launched artillery shelling on residential areas in Daraa Governorate, southern Syria.

According to local sources, the Israeli army launched 9 artillery attacks southwest of Daraa.

The sources pointed out that the bombing targeted civilian residential areas, while they did not mention any deaths or injuries as a result of the bombing.

Taking advantage of the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8, 2024, Israel expanded its occupation of the Golan Heights by occupying the Syrian buffer zone and Mount Hermon, and expanded its attacks on infrastructure and military sites in Syria.

The Israeli army began destroying the military infrastructure and remaining capabilities of the ousted regime's army, and expanded its occupation within the buffer zone surrounding the Golan Heights, which is part of Syrian territory, until it reached a distance of 25 kilometers from the capital, Damascus.

Israel also announced the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria, and the deployment of its army in the demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights, most of whose area it has occupied since 1967, in a move condemned by the United Nations and Arab countries.

It is noteworthy that Israel has occupied the Syrian Golan Heights since 1967. In 1974, a separation of forces agreement was signed between Israel and Syria, which defined the borders of the buffer zone and the demilitarized zone.
