An Israeli military force penetrates several villages in the Quneitra countryside.

ARK News.. The Syrian-Israeli border near the Golan Heights witnessed extensive Israeli military activity on Saturday, October 25, 2025, involving ground incursions and the establishment of temporary checkpoints, though no direct clashes or arrests were reported.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an Israeli military force consisting of five four-wheel-drive vehicles advanced from the village of al-Ashah toward the al-Rabi‘a neighborhood and nearby farmlands north of al-Rafid and Ain al-Abd in southern Quneitra countryside, before proceeding toward the Tel Ahmar West base, amid heavy drone activity over the area.

Simultaneously, two tanks entered al-Hamidiya in central Quneitra, accompanied by a broad military alert in the surrounding positions. In another maneuver, three tanks and several military vehicles moved near the old al-Suqri checkpoint at the start of the Peace Highway, advancing from the destroyed Quneitra base, while four additional tanks advanced toward al-Samadaniya, escorted by armored vehicles.

Elsewhere, Israeli forces set up a temporary checkpoint on the road between Turanja and Hader in northern Quneitra, as Israeli helicopters conducted intensive overflights.

Israeli troops and two military vehicles also moved from Tel Ahmar West toward Tel Ahmar East, marking a visible escalation of field activity along the Syrian contact lines, though no civilian confrontations were reported.

In a separate development, Israeli forces established another temporary checkpoint between Jabba and Khan Arnaba, where they conducted ID inspections and fired illumination flares over the al-Suqri area on Jabba’s outskirts, seizing several civilian motorcycles under heavy surveillance drone activity.

Later in the day, six Israeli military vehicles advanced near Tel Kroum in central Quneitra, as field mobilizations continued along the border strip. No direct clashes or attacks were reported.

These movements come amid a notable escalation of Israeli military activity in recent weeks, with incursions now occurring almost daily along Syria’s southern border—indicating a growing push to consolidate Israel’s field presence inside Syrian territory.
