Israel is expanding the area it occupies in Syrian territory following the overthrow of the 61-year-old Baath regime. The Israeli army has advanced to the Beddua region, located approximately 20 kilometers from the Mezze Military Airport in the capital Damascus.

The Israeli army, which has advanced its occupation to the Beddua region, located northeast of the Hermon Mountains near the Mezze Military Airport on the outskirts of Damascus, has reached within about 20 kilometers of the capital.


Karyan said, “They established fortification points in Sheikh Mountain and Teloul el-Hamer. The occupation forces are entering the villages, the town of Malika and the Dereyya Hill, and are flattening the lands in these areas.” Karyan, who drew attention to the fact that Israeli soldiers caused destruction in the agricultural lands in the regions they entered with bulldozers, added, “Quneitra is currently completely under Israeli occupation.” Karyan called on the international community and the administration led by Ahmed Shara to stop Israel’s occupation of Syrian territory.

Ahmed said, “We, as the villagers, are telling them, ‘You will lose and you will never dare to set foot on these lands again.'”

The Israeli army also occupied the villages of Cemle and Maaraba in the Yarmouk basin of the southern city of Daraa.
