Damascus, Syria – Syrian media reported on Thursday that Israeli forces fired four artillery shells toward the vicinity of Bat al-Warda hill near the town of Beit Jann in the western countryside of Damascus, with no immediate reports of casualties or structural damage.
Repeated Military Operations Near the Golan
The incident follows a pattern of heightened Israeli military activity across southern Syria and the western countryside of Damascus, which has included ground incursions and artillery shelling in zones adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights. Israeli units have periodically advanced toward strategic high ground near Beit Jann.
Israeli officials maintain that regional movements are intended to mitigate security threats along the border, whereas Damascus rejects the operations as explicit violations of Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Sustained Tensions Across Southern Syria
Ultimately, continued artillery activity near Beit Jann highlights ongoing security volatility across southern Syria. With no official comment issued by the Israeli military regarding the latest shelling, the border zone remains vulnerable to further operational friction.
