Israeli forces have reportedly taken control of Mount Hermon’s peak, establishing a new military position overlooking Damascus' southwestern countryside. According to local sources cited by Al Mayadeen, the IDF has been combing the entire peak, seizing military equipment and the wreckage of an Israeli helicopter downed during the 1973 October War. Simultaneously, Israeli tanks and armored patrols have advanced into Syria’s Quneitra countryside, infiltrating the al-Hamidiyah axis toward al-Baath. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have targeted homes and farms in central Quneitra villages while indiscriminately firing on the al-Hamidiyah and al-Hurriya forests.

Tensions are escalating as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intensifies his stance on the Golan Heights, provoking Syrian militant leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) have refused to pull back from the strategically critical "buffer zone" inside the Syrian Golan Heights, despite growing international pressure. This decision, signaling Israel’s firm grip on the region, has raised fears of a new Israeli-Syrian conflict. With Syria’s new administration committed to challenging Israeli presence, the region stands on the brink of a larger confrontation. As Israel fortifies its hold over the Golan, the fate of Syria’s fractured leadership hangs in the balance.
