Damascus, Syria – Two Syrian children were injured on Monday after Israeli forces opened fire on a group of civilians in the village of Jamlah, located in the Yarmouk Basin region of western Daraa countryside, according to official Syrian news agency SANA and local reports.
Incursion and Shooting Incident in Jamlah
Field reports indicated that an Israeli force comprising two tanks crossed through the Tal Abu Al-Ghethar gate and positioned near Wadi Al-Raqqad before opening fire on local residents and children. Emergency and medical services in Daraa governorate confirmed that the wounded children were transferred to nearby medical facilities for treatment.
Mounting Military Pressure in Southern Syria
The incident comes amid ongoing Israeli military incursions and patrols across border towns in the Daraa and Quneitra countryside, involving land clearing, raids, and military checkpoints. These developments follow Israel’s termination of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and its military presence in the buffer zone, raising international concerns over civilian safety and territorial stability.
Repeated targeting of civilians and localized military incursions in southern Syria continue to heighten security risks and exacerbate humanitarian concerns along the border.
