Israeli tanks and armored vehicles have advanced toward the Syrian town of al-Baath in the Quneitra province to gain access to the directorates of supply and electricity, the real estate bank, and the automated bakery under the pretext of inspection, while the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) expelled employees from state buildings, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Israeli media reported that the IOF besieged several governmental buildings in Quneitra, southern Syria, as well as evacuated public buildings where the new regime's police had been stationed.

Moreover, our correspondent reported that the occupation forces are stationed around the village of al-Jalama in the Yarmouk Basin and the island barracks, confirming that they have established 13 positions in southern Syria and are exercising their authority as an occupying force.

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth previously reported that the scope of the Israeli occupation army's activities in Syria is equivalent to the size of two regular brigades. The report also mentioned an "urgent plan to reinforce control over Syrian Mount Hermon."

The plan involves establishing positions by the technology and logistics division at two levels: one at an altitude of 2,400 meters and another at the summit of the mountain at 2,800 meters.

This will include long-term infrastructure for hundreds of fighters who will occupy the sector, along with supply depots and means of resupply for periods of disruption due to snowstorms, with roads being constructed from the Israeli side.
