Israeli Military Incursions into Syria's Quneitra Spark Local Protests and International Concern

Residents in Quneitra express frustration over Israeli advances and the lack of response from Syria's new government and international bodies.

Israeli forces have entered the U.N.-patrolled buffer zone in Quneitra, Syria, established by a 1974 ceasefire agreement, following the fall of President Bashar Assad last month.
Local residents report home demolitions, restricted access to farmland, and protests met with Israeli gunfire, resulting in several injuries.
The new Syrian government, led by Ahmad al-Sharaa and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has lodged complaints with the U.N. but prioritizes rebuilding national institutions over military confrontation with Israel.
Israel justifies its actions as defensive, citing security concerns over potential threats from Syria's new administration and past Iranian-backed forces in the region.
The international community, including the U.N., has criticized Israel for violating the ceasefire agreement, but no significant action has been taken to address the situation.
