The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) executed a new invasion into Syrian territory, with attacks reported about 50 kilometers from Damascus, the capital of Syria. The troops advanced from a base located in the mountainous region of Tel al Ahmar, according to various sources.

During the operation, Israeli forces fired projectiles at an area nearby, specifically in the Quneitra province. The attack was carried out by a convoy of military vehicles that moved to the village of Bariqa, where the projectiles were launched.

Reports indicate that the offensive did not result in casualties, although additional details on the consequences of the attack have not been disclosed. This action occurs amidst ongoing tensions in the region, marked by military interventions and clashes in various areas.

It is noteworthy that while Israel conducts these operations, Russia also launched attacks in Ukrainian territory, hitting regions such as Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk during the same night, according to information released by international media.

These events take place in an atmosphere of uncertainty regarding security dynamics in the Middle East, particularly concerning the involvement of foreign powers in the Syrian conflict and tensions between Israel and its neighbors.
