Israeli military forces have advanced into southern Syria, reaching approximately 25 kilometers (16 miles) southwest of Damascus, according to multiple security sources, including Reuters. In the past 48 hours, the Israeli Air Force conducted over 250 airstrikes, targeting and destroying the Syrian Navy, Air Force, and chemical weapons facilities. Israeli tanks have advanced beyond the buffer zone past Quneitra and are now stationed near the town of Qatana, less than 3 kilometers away, which is about 20 kilometers from the Syrian capital. Nine villages in the southern Damascus countryside are now under Israeli control. The incursion represents a significant escalation in regional tensions.
