In a statement carried by the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), Syria’s Foreign Ministry said Israeli forces entered areas in the southern provinces of Quneitra and Daraa and shelled parts of the region, describing the actions as violations of Syrian sovereignty, international law, the United Nations Charter and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement governing the ceasefire line on the occupied Golan Heights.

The ministry said the operations had endangered civilians, undermined efforts to restore stability and risked further escalating tensions in the region. It urged the United Nations and the broader international community to take steps to halt what it called repeated Israeli violations and ensure compliance with the 1974 agreement.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry also condemned the latest Israeli military actions, denouncing what it described as continued violations by Israeli authorities, including incursions into Syrian territory and artillery strikes targeting Quneitra and Daraa.

Israel captured most of the Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Middle East war and effectively annexed the territory in 1981, a move not recognized by most of the international community.

During the rule of former Syrian President Bashar Assad, Israel carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria, saying they targeted Iranian military infrastructure and weapons transfers to the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement in Lebanon.

Since Assad’s government fell earlier this year, Syrian authorities have repeatedly accused Israel of expanding military operations near the demilitarized zone in southern Syria. Israeli officials have said such operations are intended to prevent hostile armed groups from establishing a presence near Israel’s border and to safeguard national security.

Separately, the Eighth Conference of the Arab Parliament and Speakers of Arab Councils and Parliaments, meeting at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo, reaffirmed support for Syria’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.

In its final communiqué, the conference condemned repeated Israeli attacks on Syria and Lebanon, stressed the importance of protecting the sovereignty of Arab states and called for greater regional coordination to address common security challenges.

Delegates also condemned Iranian attacks on several Arab countries and adopted a resolution reaffirming support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people while opposing Israeli policies that they said sought to undermine the Palestinian cause.

Arab Parliament Speaker Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi called for stronger Arab solidarity and closer coordination to confront mounting regional security challenges.
