The Israeli army shelled agricultural areas in the Quneitra countryside of southwestern Syria on Tuesday, according to official media.

Alikhbariah TV reported that Israeli artillery fired three shells at farmland near the village of Taranja in the northern Quneitra countryside.

No casualties or material damage were reported.

The attack came a day after Israeli troops entered the village of al-Asha in the Quneitra countryside and carried out searches and raids on several homes.

The latest Israeli violations came despite earlier remarks by Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa that negotiations with Israel on a security agreement had not reached a dead end but were facing difficulties over Israel’s insistence on maintaining a military presence on Syrian territory.

Following the fall of the Bashar al Assad regime in December 2024, Israel declared the 1974 Disengagement Agreement void and moved to occupy the buffer zone along the frontier.

Despite the new Syrian administration issuing no threats against Israel, Israeli forces have continued carrying out air strikes in Syria since Assad’s ouster, killing civilians and targeting military sites, equipment and ammunition.
