The Israeli army reportedly opened fire on civilian areas of a rural village in southern Syria, in the Daraa province, from areas it also occupies in southern Syria.

According to Syrian state television Al-Ikhbariya, the Israeli army opened fire towards civilian homes in several sections of the village of Maariya.

The gunfire forced some residents to leave their homes, the broadcaster said.

There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.

Southern Syria has witnessed recurring Israeli incursions and attacks for months, including raids, searches and arrests.

​​​​​​​The Israeli violations intensified following the fall of the Bashar al Assad regime in December 2024, when Israel declared the 1974 Disengagement Agreement void and seized control of the Syrian buffer zone.
