US officials have expressed strong objections to the actions carried out by the Israeli occupation in Syria, according to a report from Israeli  Channel 12 citing a senior US official.

Political correspondent Barak Ravid reported that the official insisted Syria “does not want problems with Israel,” warning that the current approach taken by Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “will turn the new regime in Syria into an enemy of Israel.”

The official emphasized that the situation in Syria “is not similar to the situation in Lebanon,” noting that Netanyahu “sees worrying signs everywhere.”

According to the report, the United States has urged Netanyahu to halt such provocations, saying: “We told him to stop it,” amid rising concerns in Washington that continued escalation could trigger deeper conflict on the northern front.

Israeli incursions target Beit Jinn

Local sources in Damascus Countryside reported Saturday a wave of displacement from the town of Beit Jinn following the sound of Israeli military vehicles near the area.

The sources noted that Israeli forces advanced toward the al-Toloul al-Homr region, located between the towns of Hadar in Quneitra and Beit Jinn.

According to eyewitnesses, several families began fleeing Beit Jinn on Saturday evening after hearing the movement of Israeli occupation military vehicles nearby.

Local sources confirmed that Israeli forces infiltrated into the al-Toloul al-Homr area and deployed military vehicles around Beit Jinn. They also observed heavy Israeli reconnaissance and helicopter activity in the skies above the town.

Recent escalations in Quneitra, Damascus Countryside

This event follows a series of intensified Israeli incursions throughout southern Syria, particularly in Quneitra and Damascus Countryside. November 2025 witnessed at least 46 documented Israeli violations in the Quneitra countryside alone, including 45 military and security incursions.

These included near-daily operations involving military convoys, checkpoint installations, and civilian detentions.

The most violent incident occurred on November 27 in Beit Jinn, where elite Israeli forces from the 55th Paratroopers Brigade of the 98th Division carried out a raid near the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) Zone.

Israeli soldiers attempted to detain individuals they claimed were linked to an armed group, but local residents surrounded the troops, and armed clashes erupted. Thirteen Israeli soldiers were injured, including three critically, and the occupation forces were forced to retreat, abandoning a military vehicle that was later bombed by the Israeli air force to prevent its capture.

The Israeli occupation responded with what Syria's Foreign Ministry described as "deliberate shelling," resulting in the martyrdom of at least 13 civilians and injuries to 25 others, including women and children.
