Israeli forces in southern Syria shoot and wound three civilians

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that three civilians were wounded on Tuesday by Israeli gunfire, after troops advanced and set up a checkpoint close to the entrance of a town in al-Quneitra, south of Damascus.
Israeli forces fired live ammunition at Syrian residents, who were protesting against the persistent violations and advances of Israeli forces in their territory.
Such violations have continued since December 2024, when Israel occupied the United Nations designated buffer zone - the strategic heights of Mount Hermon - which overlooks Israel, Lebanon and Syria.
SOHR also reported that Israeli forces on Tuesday had blocked roads to civilians and halted traffic to allow for the passage of their convoy.
