War monitor reports 41 Israeli attacks on southern Syria

Damascus (ANTARA) - Israeli forces have launched dozens of ground attacks on southern Syria since early February 2026, according to the UK-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which made the announcement on Sunday (22/2).

The war monitor has documented 41 Israeli ground attacks on Syrian territory this month, accompanied by repeated low-altitude aerial activity over the provinces of Quneitra and Daraa in southern Syria.

According to the monitor, the attacks include repeated ground incursions accompanied by the detention of civilians, bulldozing of agricultural land, and the establishment of temporary military checkpoints within Syrian territory.

The organisation stated that these activities were reported to have occurred without any military response.

It also noted that Israel’s actions have had a direct impact on daily life in the affected areas, particularly for herders, farmers, and villagers near the demarcation line.

Syria’s interim government has continued to voice strong opposition to Israel’s ongoing military activities in southern Syria, describing them as repeated violations of national sovereignty and international law.
