Israeli forces increase military presence near Quneitra
In Syria’s Quneitra region, Israeli forces have established a second checkpoint on the road between Al-Samdaniyah al-Sharqiyah and Khan Arnaba. A military patrol entered the village and set up a temporary post near a school to inspect residents. Locals report tightened control.
In the Syrian province of Quneitra, Israeli forces have strengthened their presence. A second checkpoint was set up on the road connecting the village of Al-Samdaniyah al-Sharqiyah with the town of Khan Arnaba. The military organized a control point on a section of the road frequently used by residents traveling between settlements. According to local reports, forces stationed at the checkpoint are inspecting vehicles and checking identification documents. The checkpoint’s operation has become part of the recent expansion of military activity observed in the region in recent days.
Reports indicate that an Israeli military patrol entered a village located in the northern part of Quneitra. The patrol moved through central streets before establishing a temporary post near the local school building. According to residents, inspections are being conducted near this temporary post for individuals passing through the area. The installation expanded the zone of control, now covering part of the residential area, including streets commonly used for movement within the village. Locals report route documentation and additional security checks.
Amid these developments, reports have emerged of increased control over roads connecting areas near the ceasefire line. The new measures include the inspection of civilians, vehicle checks, and surveillance of movements near residential quarters. Observers note that the installation of a second checkpoint forms a new layer of control in the area, changing the nature of civilian mobility. The introduction of additional inspection points has complicated access to certain regions and lengthened travel times along local roads.
The temporary post near the school serves as one of the positions used to control movement within the central part of the village. According to local accounts, inspections are conducted selectively but involve both pedestrians and drivers. The post’s creation has caused queues at certain hours of the day as residents undergo additional screening procedures. Information on how long the temporary post will remain is unavailable. It is also unclear whether a permanent structure will be established at the current location.
The situation around Quneitra remains tense, as reports continue to surface regarding troop movements and changes in checkpoint configurations. The establishment of the second checkpoint and the temporary post inside the village are part of the broader expansion of Israeli military presence. At present, there is no official information on the purpose of this increased control. Further developments will depend on military decisions and the dynamics of the situation in the border zone. Residents continue to report restrictions affecting mobility and access to certain areas.
