The number of martyrs from the Israeli airstrike on the industrial city of Adra in the Damascus countryside has risen to 11, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.

Earlier today, an explosion shook the city of Adra following an Israeli airstrike.

Since the fall of the previous Syrian regime, "Israel" has intensified its airstrikes and aerial assaults on Syria.

This coincides with "Israel's" incursions into the country, with the Israeli occupation army having seized control of approximately 600 square kilometers in southern Syria. They have also established new positions in the Quneitra countryside, particularly on the Rasm al-Rawadi, Umm al-Azam, and Sadd al-Mantara axes.

In this context, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported earlier today 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.

'Matter of time' before IOF in Golan attacked: Israeli media

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Sunday that there are growing concerns within the Israeli occupation forces about possible attacks on its forces in Syria from the occupied Golan. According to Israeli intelligence, certain groups are showing intentions to approach the area to target soldiers stationed there.

In a piece by political correspondent Yoav Zitun, the newspaper quoted a senior officer in the northern region warning that it is "only a matter of time until we are hit by a surprise anti-tank missile or mortar shell targeting our forces here, which could result in casualties among the soldiers."

The officer added that such an event would "turn everything for the worse," highlighting the difficulty in explaining the value of their mission in Syria to soldiers. "There is no enemy here, and we are not conducting meaningful operations or missions. The entire situation feels futile," he remarked.

The officer also emphasized that the Israeli presence in Syria, characterized by the frequent movement of tanks, could inadvertently provoke armed groups into attacking. Senior commanders in Syria reportedly view the operational reality as lacking "benefit or importance."

In the same context, Yedioth Ahronoth noted two recent incidents where Israeli forces opened fire on Syrian protesters demonstrating against the Israeli occupation of their lands. The newspaper warned that such events "may not be the last," with soldiers claiming they fired because they "felt threatened."

The report also detailed the Israeli occupation forces' efforts to collect large amounts of weapons in the occupied Golan, ranging from old Soviet-era tanks to modern anti-tank missiles, mortars, and ammunition.

Additionally, the scope of IOF activity in Syria reportedly involves forces equivalent to two regular brigades. An urgent plan is underway to bolster control over Mount Hermon, which includes constructing infrastructure at two elevations—2,400 meters and 2,800 meters.

The plan aims to establish long-term facilities for hundreds of fighters, supply warehouses, and logistical means to withstand disruptions caused by snowstorms, with new roads being built from the occupied Palestinian side.
