Arab countries also condemned Israeli attacks in southern Syria, with the Saudi Foreign Ministry denouncing "its latest incursions into Syrian territory and the targeting of the Quneitra and Daraa governorates with artillery shelling."

The attacks described by the sources included Israeli forces opening fire on Syrian civilians late Sunday while withdrawing from the village of Abidin in the southern Daraa countryside, before shelling the area, and Israeli aircraft flying over the countryside of Quneitra and Daraa before the attack.

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan called for an immediate halt to Israeli incursions in Syria's Quneitra and Daraa governorates, urging the international community to intervene and assume its responsibilities.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli incursions into the Quneitra and Daraa governorates and the accompanying artillery shelling, describing the aggression as "a flagrant violation of Syria's sovereignty and a brazen breach of international law and international humanitarian law."

Jordanian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Fuad Majali said the latest Israeli incursions into Quneitra and Daraa, along with artillery shelling, constitute "a flagrant violation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a blatant breach of international law and the UN Charter."

In the same reporting, the sources described a day of tension in the village of Abidin in the Yarmouk Basin in western Daraa after Israeli occupation forces intruded near the village, followed by a return to calm after the forces withdrew from Tall al-Mughr.

The sources tied the latest southern Syria incidents to a broader pattern of Israeli violations of Syrian sovereignty in recent months, including incursions, house raids, the erection of checkpoints, and the arrest of civilians.

After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime on Dec. 8, 2024, the sources said Israel declared the collapse of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and occupied the buffer zone on the Syrian side of the border, while continuing airstrikes and ground incursions inside Syrian territory.

Jordanian and other Arab statements framed the immediate objective as stopping Israeli violations of Syrian territory and adhering to the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, with Saudi Arabia expressing "complete rejection" of Israeli practices including "terrorizing innocent civilians and violating international laws and norms."

The sources also described how the intrusion into Abidin in the Yarmouk Basin was the first of its kind carried out by the occupation forces during daytime, with residents blocking the road between the village and the Yarmouk Valley after clashes with stones.
