Israel opens another WAR FRONT? Troops advance into Syria’s Strategic Southwestern province Quneitra

Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syria’s southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later. According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights. Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syria’s instability for territorial gains. The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile Syria–Israel border. #Israel #Syria #Quneitra #GolanHeights #MiddleEast #IDF #BreakingNews #CeasefireViolation #1974Ceasefire #UNCondemnation #SyrianWar #Damascus #InternationalLaw #IsraelNews #SyriaNews #BorderTensions #MilitaryIncursion #IDFForces #RegionalTensions #WarFront #IsraelSyria #GolanConflict #MilitaryNews #Flashpoint #Geopolitics #UNWarning #MiddleEastCrisis #OccupiedTerritory #ConflictZone #SecurityBreach #GroundIncursion Also Read Netanyahu Lists 5 Principles To End Gaza War, Slams ‘Global Campaign Of Lies :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-gaza-liberation-hamas-prime-minister-netanyahu-011-7825831.html?ref=DMDesc Not Going To Occupy Gaza, Will Free It From Hamas: Israel PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/not-going-to-occupy-gaza-will-free-it-from-hamas-israel-pm-netanyahu-011-7824689.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Security Cabinet Approves Netanyahu's Plan To Take Over 'All of Gaza' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-security-cabinet-approves-netanyahus-plan-to-take-over-all-of-gaza-011-7823673.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.124~

Erdogan Backs Al-Sharaa’s Fight against Netanyahu | Syrian Civil War escalates | Turkey vs Israel

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syria’s sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict. #TurkeyInSyria #SyrianCivilWar #Erdogan #AlSharaa #IsraelVsTurkey #Israel #MiddleEastConflict #SyriaWarUpdate #TurkeyMilitarySupport #DruzeBedouinClashes #SyriaIsraelTensions #SweidaCrisis #DamascusAirstrikes #RegionalEscalation #BreakingNews #MiddleEastNews #SyriaCrisis #ErdoganVsNetanyahu #Geopolitics #UNAlert #TurkeySyriaAlliance #AnkaraStatement #IDFStrikes #ErdoganResponse #SyriaUnderFire #WarInSyria #TurkeyIsraelFaceOff Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc Airstrike Caught On Live TV: Israeli Missiles Hit Syrian Defence HQ In Damascus :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/airstrike-caught-on-live-tv-israeli-missiles-hit-syrian-defence-hq-in-damascus-7803237.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Collapses In Sweida; Israel Responds With Strike On Syrian Army :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ceasefire-collapses-in-sweida-israel-responds-with-strike-on-syrian-army-7803123.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Israel-Syria BREAKING: U.S Announces Israel-Syria Ceasefire | 300 Killed in Sweida Violence [Video]

Israel-Syria BREAKING: U.S Announces Israel-Syria Ceasefire | 300 Killed in Sweida Violence

Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syria’s southern Sweida province. Over 300 have died. The violence spiraled when Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus, claiming it was acting to protect the Druze minority. The Israeli Air Force targeted Syrian regime positions in the south, insisting on their withdrawal. Although Tel Aviv insists the action was to shield its "Druze brothers," experts suggest deeper motives, from political posturing to preventing a strong, unified Syria under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. While the U.S. confirmed the ceasefire, ground reports indicate that fighting continues in several regions. Netanyahu urged Israeli Druze not to cross the border. With historic roots of autonomy and past alliances, the Druze community finds itself fractured in post-Assad Syria, unsure of its place under the new regime. Is this protection-or a geopolitical gamble by Tel Aviv? #IsraelSyriaCeasefire #DruzeClashes #TelAvivStrike #DamascusBombing #SyriaUnrest #IDFStrikes #MiddleEastTensions #Netanyahu #GolanHeights #SweidaClashes #DruzeCommunity #AssadFallout #IsraelAirstrike #BRK #BedouinFighting #AhmadAlSharaa #GeopoliticalCrisis #USMiddleEastPolicy #AlJazeeraReports #SyriaNews ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.122~
