Local Syrian sources told Al Mayadeen on Thursday night that, in a significant development, an Israeli force consisting of three armored vehicles entered the village of Rakhla in the western Damascus countryside, near the Lebanese border opposite the town of Yuhmor in the Rashaya district. This was the first incursion of its kind into the area.

An Israeli special forces force carried out an airdrop in the Yafour area of ​​the Damascus countryside, approximately 10 kilometers from the capital, with three helicopters participating, according to sources.

In detail, the landing targeted a site belonging to the former Syrian Republican Guard, where the search operation lasted for five hours before the force departed via helicopter.

Syrian sources also reported that another Israeli force entered the village of Saysoun in the Yarmouk Basin area of ​​the western Daraa countryside, in six military vehicles.

The source added that a force of three vehicles penetrated a former Syrian army position near the village of Ain Dhakar in the Yarmouk Basin.

In addition, "Israel's" occupation forces have constructed a new forward military outpost within Syrian territory, marking the tenth such site since the fall of then-President Bashar al-Assad's control, according to Israeli media outlet i24.

The i24 report states that these outposts are distributed between two positions on Mount Hermon and eight across the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. The latest position was reportedly completed on Tuesday.

The 7006th Battalion of the Israeli military is responsible for building and maintaining this latest outpost, as part of broader efforts to entrench "Israel's" military presence in the occupied territories.
