The Israeli occupation has so far completely seized approximately 500 square kilometers of southern Syria, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Syria reported Thursday.

Our correspondent also highlighted the widespread Israeli razing of Syrian military sites on the slopes of Mount Hermon, as well as in the al-Quneitra and Daraa regions.

Simultaneously, local Syrian sources told Al Mayadeen that Israeli occupation forces have razed positions at Haramoun, Tal Ain Marwan, Tal al-Hamriya, al-Tilal al-Homr, and Tal al-Kassarat, located in the northernmost countryside of Quneitra, which administratively overlaps with the slopes of Mount Hermon. 

The sources further confirmed that the occupation forces have destroyed the headquarters of the Syrian Army's second and third battalions, which are among the largest in the south of the country.

Additionally, the occupation forces seized advanced communication and jamming equipment in advanced positions that belonged to the Syrian Army's 12th Brigade, previously stationed in villages along the disengagement line, including Kudna, al-Hairan, Swisah, and el-Maalgah, in the southern Quneitra countryside.

For the ninth consecutive day, the Israeli military continued to encroach on Syrian territories, having occupied the Syrian side of Mount Hermon and seized control of a UN-patrolled buffer zone in the occupied Syrian Golan.

Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the Israeli military to prepare to remain in the Syrian Mount Hermon area and the buffer zone until at least the end of 2025.

Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Syria reported more than 15 violations against civilians in Homs. Residents have called on the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, who led an offensive that resulted in the ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, to intervene and put an end to these incidents.

In a related context, the Iraqi authorities announced on Thursday that they have begun repatriating Syrian soldiers who fled to Iraqi territory two weeks ago, returning them to their country via the al-Qaim border crossing through which they had entered after "coordinating efforts" with Syria's new rulers.

The Syrian newspaper al-Watan reported that the transitional government in Syria, in coordination with the Iraqi government, is planning to repatriate 2,400 soldiers who fled from Deir Ezzor to Iraqi territory after the fall of al-Assad's government less than two weeks ago.
