Israeli occupation forces breached Syrian territory early Tuesday morning, advancing between the villages of al-Samadaniyah al-Sharqiyah and al-Ajraf in the countryside of Quneitra, according to local Syrian sources.

The helicopter avoided flying over Jordanian or Lebanese airspace, suggesting high-level coordination for the delivery.

Though Damascus has not officially commented on the report, the development has fueled speculation of behind-the-scenes communication between Syria and the Israeli occupation, despite the absence of formal diplomatic relations and “Israel’s” continued violations of Syrian sovereignty.

Such actions, including today’s armored incursion, starkly contradict reports of improving ties and cast doubt over the sincerity and stability of any emerging understandings between Syria and the Israeli occupation, fueling uncertainty about the true trajectory of their relations.
